If I recall correctly, the reference implementation of the Bitcoin
protocol (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin) has an option in the
config panel to set a proxy (which just happens to be localhost:9050),
protocol SOCKS5 (but it supports SOCKS4).  By checking the tickybox,
the Bitcoin client uses Tor to proxy its connections.

There is also a -tor command-line option which defaults to whatever
the -proxy command-line option defaults to (source: `bitcoin-qt --help`)

Or at least, the copy I have in front of me at this time does.  I may
very well have configured it to use Tor ages ago and forgotten that I
did.  Sanity check, anybody?
