Thanks for picking up the ball on this one, Robert!
Feel free to update the wiki to point to this version. I assume
you've seen the list of patches at
https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TSocksPatches ?
One thought: Maybe the name should change, or the version number
format should change, or something like that? This would :
- indicate that this is not the stock tsocks
- give people something easy to google for when they want to find
the tsock that works with Tor.

I don't see a reason why it couldn't be added to the Tor svn repo;
just drop a line when you think it's ready.
