Comment (by nickm):

 Hm. One problem with reusing that code is that Tor's SOCKS code needs to
 be nonblocking. IOW, you can't call "recv, then parse, then recv."  Also,
 it works with data types that do not guarantee that the data is stored
 contiguously.

 Right now it's in the 370-line parse_socks() doom-function in
 src/or/buffers.c .   Have a look. :)

 You might be able to re-use some of the test-logic here, of course: It's
 possible to emulate blocking with non-blocking, and then you could re-use
 the tests for the blocking mode.
