Anyone else interested in this? I'm a coder, unfortunately I do not like C (nor C++) so I can't help out much there... How big is the TOR code? The idea would be that your trusted friends would not be your endpoint exit node, just your firstpoint into a TOR network. And your endpoint exit nodes would be friends of your friends friends. (3 levels, or more). While not passing back who your friend's friends are, statistics such as how many friends they have could be passed back to determine how many exit nodes you eventually would have... thus you may choose 3 hops... and see that maybe there are not enough endpoint exit nodes for your taste... so then you could specify more hops.
