Comment(by Sebastian):

 So, to do that we need to pass obfsproxy the pid of Tor on startup,
 because if we don't, we can't learn it reliably in a portable way afaik.
 We can then use the procmon thing that we have in Tor, ported over. That's
 ugly and insane, but maybe our best alternative?

 To pass the pid, we could invent something like passing a --managed=<PID>
 to obfsproxy, and in the torrc specify a certain magic string to mean
 "pass whatever pid we have". I think that should work, and it would be the
 cleanest alternative I can think of.
