 I believe the script may be useful for Tails as well. It unbundels Tor
 Browser from Tor/Vidalia. You can start Tor Browser as a standalone,
 without starting the Tor/Vidalia from the TBB package.

 The script I uploaded, is indeed useful for Transparent Torification. But
 it is only one step, in enhancing the Transparent Torification support.

 The script is also useful, if you have Tor/Vidalia installed anyway (for
 other applications, such as Pidgin or whatever), and want to use Tor
 Browser, without the bundled Tor/Vidalia.

 If you want Tor Browser in Tails, you need to be able to terminate Tor
 Browser, without closing Tor/Vidalia. That's what the script does.
