 The tor windows installer that can be found at
 https://dist.torproject.org/win32/ has a bug with regard to the command
 line handling, according to the help & the source it should handle the
 command line arguments -x and -b
 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/contrib/win32build/tor-
 mingw.nsi.in#n258), -x to extract all content and -b to extract just the
 binaries. The binaries are never extracted, thus the -b switch does
 nothing and the -x switch is incomplete, extracting only the
 documentation.

 I believe this to be because the ExtractBinaries function lacks an
 SetOutPath call which the ExtractDocuments function does have.

 This is my first ticket on trac so I hope I did this right.
