Comment:

 I've attached a first pass at this. Notes:

 1) I believe this to be correct based on my work in #8401 but I need to
 confirm it in a completely clean VM.

 2) The Windows packaging scripts are out of date and broken.  On Windows 7
 the installer does not work because it does not ask for elevation to
 Admin.  Is producing an installer for bare tor.exe still desirable?  If so
 I will see if I can wrangle NSIS enough to make it work.  I don't know
 anything about it, so I'm merely assuming it is the best thing to use to
 produce the Windows installer.

 3) I don't know enough about Linux automake to know when 'autogen' is
 required vs not required.
