Hello Maillist
As part of the 'google summer of code'(gsoc) I was able to add some of
blossom's functionality to vidalia. The project consisted of adding a 'select
exit by country' option to vidalia so that users could leverage the Tor network
to select the 'perspective' of the network the wished to have. The idea is that
many entities select their content based on the traffic ip address 'source' and
users might like to have different perspectives easily controlled by them.
The project added a new 'tab' on the vidalia's settings window where users can select a country from where they want to 'exit'. Users can also select countries they would like to avoid. There is no Tor version prerequiste to use this tool.
This exit aware vidalia version has been tested on windows xp(mingw), linux
(2.6-386) and OsX(leopard-ppc) with both Qt 4.3.5 and 4.4.1.
Binary packages from windows(Thanks to Matt Edman) are available at:
http://vidalia-project.net:8001/vidalia/vidalia-0.1.8-svn-exit-country.exe
http://vidalia-project.net:8001/vidalia/vidalia-0.1.8-svn-exit-country.exe.asc
Unix tarballs are available at:
http://www.vidalia-project.net/dist/exit-country.tar.gz
http://www.vidalia-project.net/dist/exit-country.tar.gz.asc
The source code can also be downloaded from the vidalia svn by doing:
svn co https://svn.vidalia-project.net/svn/vidalia/branches/exit-country
exit-country-vidalia
Building instructions and prerequsites are the same as vidalia. The
build requires cmake and qt.
The complete build instructions can be found at:

Have a nice summer

What a great idea!
Thank you for working on this!! And thanks to Google for supporting this
project.
Sadly, I get a clean linux compilation, but no extra tab. Is there an
additional dependency? e.g. geoip?
TIA
gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.6.1
