Comment:

 As pointed out in the description, I believe that a reasonable solution
 would be to have a file `server_descriptor` in the directory
 `pt_state/scramblesuit/`.  It should be a ready-to-use descriptor such as:

 {{{
 Bridge scramblesuit 127.0.0.1:1234
 password=XBA76LNRO2DAQV4YDXSHOYL34L2EP5D2
 }}}

 However, we need to modify obfsproxy so that it writes the bind address
 (which it gets from pyptlib) to `TransportConfig()`.  I already have a
 patch for that.  Does that sound reasonable?  Are there better solutions?
