 #12585 implemented SocksSocket, thus allowing proxying INET connections
 over a unix socket. Unfortunately, the only options allows this
 SocksSocket to be accessable to the Tor user, or at best, the Tor group
 (i.e. debian-tor). This makes is quite unuseful for normal users who
 aren't usually members of that group. Perhaps a new config option should
 be added which specifies the socket ownership, or append it to the end of
 the SocksSocket line.
