Comment(by stewart):

 It may be easier/simpler to take the approach of something like uuidd,
 which is spawned by libuuid on demand - and you just use a UNIX socket to
 connect to it (for Windows you'd do a named pipe).

 Basically, the first tzygotor app launched would spawn tor and get a
 socket to do SOCKS things over, subsequent ones would just get the same
 socket without spawning it. It could even be that on the last tzygotor app
 exiting, the tor daemon is shut down.
