Comment:

 The browser changes are here (bug13047 branch in brade remote):
   https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/brade/tor-
 browser.git/commit/1aa441fe6408ea1b0e94431f284f0d583a877a2e
 Note that if/when we use minSupportedVersion in the XML update manifest,
 we will need to make sure we use the same OS version that Mozilla uses for
 %OS_VERSION%.  On Mac OS and Linux, it is the kernel version.  Here is a
 table for Mac OS that might be helpful when the time comes:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_%28operating_system%29#Release_history
 On Windows, the version is compared against dwMajorVersion.dwMinorVersion
 from the OSVERSIONINFO struct.  See the Remarks section on the following
 page for details:
   http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
 us/library/windows/desktop/ms724834%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

 Still needed: some modifications to boklm's tb-update-response to handle
 the new update URL that omits the %OS_VERSION% component.
