Comment (by anon):

 I have reviewed the patch and it looks good! There is a
 SocksSocketsGroupWriteable option to support use by users who are not the
 tor user.

 The patch correctly handles non-applicable scenarios where IPV6 and other
 uses apply but not to AF_UNIX.

 Green for merge on my account!

 // P.S. I am testing some performance behavior with larger send and
 receive buffers for Unix domain sockets which may have a significant
 impact on throughput. If the benefit is large I will submit as another
 patch. The nature of buffer SOCKOPTs implies more time for testing on
 platforms for compatibility. (E.g. need additional configure / ifdefs for
 particular BSD socket options.)
