#9935: Vidalia trashes 'tor' different host config if 'vidalia.conf' not preserved
in TBB update

-----------------------+------------------------
 If one configures 'tor' on a different host but
 uses TBB+Vidalia to monitor 'tor' and browse,
 forgetting to preserve the 'vidalia.conf' file
 when updating TBB results in Vidalia trashing
 the 'tor' relay configuration.  Thankfully
 I had a backup.

 Vidalia should first attempt to download the
 existing config when the IP of an remote
 system 'tor' is entered.

 This is true for

    tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.3.25-13-dev-en-US

 and

    tor-browser-gnu-linux-x86_64-2.4.17-beta-2-dev-en-US
