Comment (by dawuud):

 ah ok thanks daira.
 i've fixed my build system's problems.

 since then i've gotten some work done:

 - written unit tests for the Tor client foolscap plugin
 - tested the foolscap tor plugin in a branch that activate only this
 plugin...
 i used that testing branch of foolscap with Tahoe-LAFS and successfully
 connected
 to an onion grid.

 Next I would like to add a tahoe.cfg configuration section for loading
 foolscap transport client plugins and specifying options; specifically
 socks host and port for the tor plugin.

 After that we can iterate on the Tor plugin until we've got several with
 different properties... such as launching tor and saving tor state to a
 private/ directory... etc.
