-------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
Currently PTs are always executed as subprocesses of Tor. This have its
downsides on certain platforms such as iOS where we cannot have actual
subprocesses and people have to do various hacks for them to work well on
the platform.
It would be useful if we had a mechanism for loading PTs as plug-ins of
the Tor process (via .so's and .dll's), but also to allow developers to
statically link in the PT into the Tor binary to save space.
