Comment(by chiiph):

 How about the possibility of Tor ignoring the ClientTransportPlugin if
 there are no obfs bridges? This would solve the "lets distribute bundles
 with the ClientTransportPlugin line hardcoded".

 The other question would be: how would I be able to detect this particular
 failure case? or: how can I recognize pluggable transport bridges in a
 generic way? Right now Vidalia just troughs tor the bridge lines as-is
 exactly because of the parsing issue.
 I could look for "ClientTransportPlugin" and "Proxy" from the error
 message to recognize this particular case, but it doesn't seem like the
 best way to go.
