Comment:

 Pushed my branch! See branch `bug4567` in
 `https://git.gitorious.org/mytor/mytor.git`.

 I took care while squashing my 45-commits local branch, and I hope it
 makes sense when you review it. If not, tell me how it doesn't make sense
 and I'll try to improve it.

 I hope to add some unit tests and stuff before the deadline too.

 It also adds two `XXX`s:
 a) We assume that external proxy ports are forwarded manually by the user.

 b) We know that tor-fw-helper won't work when ports are bound in a
 different IP address (like, with `ORPort 192.168.2.1234:5555`) and we
 don't do anything about it. The old tor-fw-helper subsystem didn't do
 anything about it either, and I'm not sure if it should.

 What I hope to do before the deadline is to issue a warning when a user
 has set `PortForwarding` while binding to a different IP address, and also
 stop the TCP forwarding request from actually happening (the current code
 actually issues the useless request).
