Notes for anyone packaging TorK:

- TorK installs a utility called torkify, which relies on libtorksocks.so and a config file 
  tork-tsocks.conf. Libtorksocks.so will get installed to the $(libdir)/tork directory, while tork-tsocks.conf will get installed to $(sysconfdir) (usually /etc). Before
  distributing your package you should ensure that the command 'torkify ssh' or similar 
  works and does not return errors. You can also test this by launching an 'Anonymous SSH
  session' from TorK's 'Anonymize' tab. If you're having issues with it on your platform
  please contact me at robert@roberthogan.net.

- Ideally you should also check that torksocks (installed in $(bindir)) is referencing the
  correct location of libtorksocks.so for your installation. You should also check that
  torkify (installed in $(bindir)) is referencing the correct location of tork-tsocks.conf.

- Do not use an external version of tsocks with TorK. The version packaged with TorK is
  specially patched for anonymous use (it ensures DNS queries from the tsocks-ified application
  do not bypass Tor).

- You can use an external version of libgeoip if you like. By default, tork will compile the
  bundled GeoIP and link to it statically.
