Introducing Torsocks - Transparent socks for Tor

[slush]

Hi,

nice work! I tried and works perfectly.

Just one typo. in src/usewithtor.in - there is missing # on line four. It
works, but print warning in runtime.

If is anybody interested, on
http://www.slush.cz/torsocks_1.0-beta-1_i386.deb is DEB package (made by
checkinstall tool) for Debian (tested on unstable) and Ubuntu (tested on
8.10).
