Comment (by nickm):

 >  isn't it useful in both cases?

 If you can run Tor as a separate process, I think you should probably just
 use exec*() to launch it, rather than having it linked in as part of your
 binary.  I've tried to clarify in a fixup commit.  Does it look better
 now?

 Also, I think I should wait for the mobile people to comment too, so we
 know if they like the API
