 Well, if not elegance, at least some sanity and consistency. Look at the
 mess that is "start-tor-browser": was obviously hacked together by several
 people, with some of them clearly not understanding how to write bash
 script.

 I like it.

 gk: I had to change some stuff in "start-tor-browser" (the log path
 selection is, uhh, "cognitively challenged"). I might rewrite other parts
 as well if you are interested.
