 In order to ship Tor Browser Bundles that do not conflict with
 distribution-installed tor clients and tor relays, we must give TBB the
 ability to automatically choose a new SOCKS port and Control port if the
 default ports are in use. (See #2264).

 These options also need to kick out a log line at notice level that
 Vidalia is capable of easily parsing.

 I think we need to do this ASAP, and that it should go into 0.2.2.x, so we
 can release TBBs that don't break when people have another tor installed.
 I can code this myself it that is what it takes (but obviously I'd prefer
 not to :).
