 Replying to [comment:5 mikeperry]:
 > An alternative way to do this is to have Vidalia ask the user. See the
 prompt we create in Vidalia 0.3.2 for #2905 that asks users if they want
 to avoid connecting to the public network. That prompt could be adapted to
 also ask the user about upstream transparent tors, and to pass a special
 environment variable to Tor Browser to tell it to use transparent mode.

 I can't do this one. Someone else free to do it.

 > For Linux, that sounds great. However on Mac and Windows? Not sure. Of
 course, that need not block your Linux implementation as far as I'm
 concerned. At the very least, I bet we could convince the Tails people to
 use TBB then. It breaks my heart that they don't right now.

 Good, that I don't have to provide a cross platform implementation. I know
 nothing about mac. I may be able, later, to provide the Windows starter as
 well.

 The linux start scripts are done. Where shall I upload?
