Comment (by nickm):

 I have a linux-only implementation that seems to run and adjust socket
 buffers in my branch "kist".

 It still needs work:
   * Darwin, BSD, Windows support.
   * Shutting down the thread and freeing memory on exit.
   * Avoiding its loop when Tor is quiescent.
   * Some kind of debugging log to make sure the values it's setting are
 reasonable.
   * Upper and lower bounds on what it's willing to set the buffer sizes
 to.
   * Tuning for global read/write limits
   * Tuning for maximum output buffer sizes.

 Still, it's a start!
