Totally agree, end-user need a single .exe or single .app/dmg with a
nice icon to be clicked on and everything works.

Imho also TBB should remove Vidalia and leave just TBB+Tor, it would
strongly increase usability.

Bernd, have you saw the proposed tips on using Tor's GSoc APAF for your
TorChat buildsystem ? https://github.com/prof7bit/TorChat/issues/16

Basically you already made your own cross-platform hacks for the
build-system.
It maybe very valuable to switch to APAF, also to leverage your
knowledge but rationalizing what could be the future of an anonymous
application ecosystem.

APAF is at http://github.com/mmaker/APAF and will be used by other
"anonymous applications" will be built (such as GlobaLeaks, Tor2web,
OONI, maybe CryptoCat).

It would be very cool if you could have an hands-on-it and contribute
with your cross-platform-python-anonymous-development-experience :-)
