I did some research into this earlier today and have a working,
standalone POC that can deal with system-wide Tor instances (but it is
incomplete in some ways that require further discussion). I'm way too
tired at the moment to do the write up, but I will do it after I've got
some sleep. In other words, Mark (Mike?), Kathleen and others: please
don't duplicate work by looking into this until I've posted my results.

Cheers!
