 does not compile with the latest nightly code (it seems your
 `dependencies.patch` in the `firefox` project needs updating). Further,
 there are conflicts with the latest `tor-browser-build` `master` branch.

 orbotservice. This addition is causing a conflict. I'll finish the
 'Include Support for Pluggable Transports' issue in tor-android-service
 and then modify the build script to use that library.

 > Sounds good. Where are we with that? I'd like to have at least a bunch
 of nightly builds with all the new code first now that we missed the alpha
 this week. To give it at least a bit more testing then "just" one alpha.

 I've added the PT support into TOPL Android. Since TOPL deals with
 configuration and settings, it seems to be a logical place for it. The
 issue below links to the commit with changes, if you are interested.

 Since tor-android-service uses TOPL, it will pull in the PT libraries.

 Next. I'm going cleanup some of the bridge settings methods that sysrqb
 identified in the code review. Also I'm going to configure the use the
 bridges.txt in tor-binary-android aar, rather than the one in tor-android-
 service.
