Comment (by yawning):

 If it's just SOCKS5 that's needed, that would be the path of least
 resistance.  I've been threatening to write such a patch but I haven't
 yet, and that was how I was going to resolve this in the form of a diff I
 can pass off to n8fr8.

 The obfs4proxy code uses the infrastructure to provide support for HTTP
 CONNECT, SOCKS4(a) and SOCKS5, and it works well, though it ships with
 extra files that add support for the first 2 proxy types.  Maybe I should
 try to contribute that stuff upstream one of these days...
