Comment (by akwizgran):

 TOPL's OnionProxyManager was originally based on Briar's TorPlugin.
 Changes on the Briar side since the code was forked include support for
 bridges with pluggable transports, so if you're planning to make similar
 changes to TOPL it might make sense to check out the current version of
 TorPlugin:

 https://code.briarproject.org/briar/briar/blob/master/bramble-
 android/src/main/java/org/briarproject/bramble/plugin/tor/AndroidTorPlugin.java

 >>
 >> Pluggable transport build - ??? needs more investigation
 >
 > We can combine with this #28802.

 In case it's useful, we went through a similar process recently for Briar
 and we've published our binaries for tor and obfs4 on JCenter:

 https://bintray.com/briarproject/org.briarproject

 These are reproducible builds from n8fr8's tor-android repo and Yawning's
 obfs4 repo respectively, using the following Docker images:

 https://code.briarproject.org/briar/tor-reproducer

 https://code.briarproject.org/briar/go-reproducer

 If I can do anything to make any of this code useful for you, let me know.
