I am sorry for that but I got limited resources for working on this project. 
The code for the gateway is now online and I am moving the whole project to 
github.[0]

This is to some degree what I am implementing. Until deciding for a better 
name[1] I call the two parts "Tor gateway" and "Tor workstation". The gateway 
is still missing a few features[2] (and documentation especially) but it is 
out of a proof-of-concept-only state. (Whereas the "fast gateway" and 
workstation[3] are still proof-of-concept). Tails does a much better job at 
being a "Tor workstation" so it might be a good idea to try to make it fit into 
the virtualization concept - although VirtualBox does not support 
exporting VMs to OVA including a ISO by now.
