 This is an attempt to move <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
 bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=552556> foward.

 Right now, ControlPort + CookieAuthFileGroupReadable offers a way for
 specific users (members of the same group as the Tor process) to controel
 a system-wide Tor daemon. It would be great to have a similar access
 control mechanism for ControlSocket.

 The attached patch is an attempt to implement such behaviour. It adds a
 new configuration option, `UnixSocketsGroupWritable`, which when enabled,
 will make socket `g+rw` upon creation.
