Comment (by kernelcorn):

 The second option seems like the simplest and generally reliable approach.
 Chutney should use the system installation of Tor (/usr/bin/tor) or one
 that someone installed themselves (/usr/local/bin/tor).

 However, the first option seems more flexible and is the behavior probably
 expected by most Chutney users. It allows someone to install their own Tor
 build in a custom location and then change their path accordingly, which
 is perfectly common approach for other Linux applications.
