I believe the script may be useful for Tails as well. It unbundels Tor
Browser from Tor/Vidalia. You can start Tor Browser as a standalone,
without starting the Tor/Vidalia from the TBB package.
The script I uploaded, is indeed useful for Transparent Torification. But
it is only one step, in enhancing the Transparent Torification support.
The script is also useful, if you have Tor/Vidalia installed anyway (for
other applications, such as Pidgin or whatever), and want to use Tor
Browser, without the bundled Tor/Vidalia.
If you want Tor Browser in Tails, you need to be able to terminate Tor
Browser, without closing Tor/Vidalia. That's what the script does.
