The project consisted of adding a 'select exit by country' option to vidalia so that users could leverage the Tor network to select the 'perspective' of the network the wished to have. The idea is that many entities select their content based on the traffic ip address 'source' and users might like to have different perspectives easily controlled by them.

What a great idea!

Thank you for working on this!! And thanks to Google for supporting this 
project.

Sadly, I get a clean linux compilation, but no extra tab. Is there an 
additional dependency? e.g. geoip?

TIA

gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.6.1
