 Hi, minor nitpick but when I pulled and re-ran tor's autogen it failed due
 to a new dependency...

 {{{
 atagar at odin:~/Desktop/tor/tor$ ./autogen.sh
 Can't exec "libtoolize": No such file or directory at /usr/bin/autoreconf
 line 196.
 Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/bin/autoreconf
 line 196.
 }}}

 This is all well and good, but we usually provide a more helpful error
 message (preferably including the debian package the person needs). The
 following did the trick for me...

 {{{
 sudo apt-get install dh-autoreconf
 }}}

 Cheers! -Damian
