Re: PIDFile not written/missing in tor-0.1.1.5-alpha-cvs

I'll try your way at some point to see what it does for fun.  However,
on a clean install, can you capture all output during the entire phase
and see if the build reports any errors.  

I can hypothesize some situations that may create this, but for the most
part, I'm at a loss to explain why.
