Comment(by ioerror):

 Replying to [comment:10 Sebastian]:
 > seems to be problematic maintenance-wise, I guess. How would we get a
 list of things like shim, and see if their version is suitable etc? I
 think either we ship it, or we don't do anything automatically

 I think that nick will murder me for saying this but... I think we could
 ship shim as we do with tor-fw-helper. However for our *bundles* we can
 simple ensure that Tor launches it and that it works.

 shim "works" today, what is the problem with using it, I wonder?
