Comment:

 We could do shell-like expansion, but this is more a polipo bug than a
 Vidalia bug, since Vidalia only passes those parameters directly to
 polipo.

 In TBB's plugin (re the plugin architecture), there isn't anything related
 to a proxy app, just the browser.

 Stable TBB doesn't use this anymore either.
 Vidalia has already a lot of hackery to get Firefox and polipo opened in
 the stable branch. All of that has been removed in order to be handled
 inside an external plugin.
 I'm going to call this invalid unless there are more reasons why we would
 like to keep supporting spawning a proxy app.
