Comment (by gk):

 I don't understand how this should work. The WPAD case is okay but what
 about the other cases? Should Tor Launcher do some probing here? If so,
 how should it be possible to detect PAC files, e.g., or that system proxy
 settings are needed? And yes, it is a ton of work (I did a lot of it in
 FoxyProxy).
