Ugh, that sounds pretty nasty. OSX 10.9 !#@%#%!.

It uses the existing process, I'll add the missing tor. I guess that on 10.9
we'll have the issue with the absolute path it needs, and I can just re-use the
same hack we had to use last time when the geoip couldn't be found.  But I'm
not sure what to do about Contents being completely overwritten, because that
is pretty odd behavior... and we can only use the absolute path trick if they
are going to be in the same directory.
