 I've uploaded the 0.3.1-rc tarballs here:

 To make this work with plugins, you need to setup qtscriptgenerator, so
 that it generates the necessary dlls/dylibs/so to bind most of Qt to the
 plugin engine (follow its README).

 You'll need to set the QTDIR env var before running the generator app to
 where the include dir where Qt's headers live is. For example, in my
 Windows setup, I did it like this:

 setx QTDIR /c/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.7.4/mingw/

 Otherwise, the generator app probably won't find the headers (it's similar
 in Linux and OSX).

 Once the bindings for the plugins have been built, you should copy the
 script dir (again, the README will tell you where that was generated) to
 where vidalia's executable is (you need to have a "script" named dir with
 the dlls inside).

 Once you have all that, you'll need a plugin: in my repo
 git://git.torproject.org/user/vidalia-plugins.git is a TBB plugin. What I
 did was copy the cloned directory (the whole vidalia-plugins dir) to the
 Data dir inside TBB's directory structure, and then changed the
 vidalia.conf file to this:

 {{{
 [General]
 LanguageCode=en
 PluginPath=.\\Data\\Vidalia\\vidalia-plugins

 [TBB]
 BrowserDirectory=FirefoxPortable
 BrowserExecutable=tbb-firefox.exe

 [Tor]
 ControlPort=9051
 TorExecutable=.\\App\\tor.exe
 Torrc=.\\Data\\Tor\\torrc
 AutoControl=true
 DataDirectory=.\\Data\\Tor
 }}}

 Again, this was for Windows, but it's similar with the other platforms.

 Once that's done, just start TBB.
