Hey libtech,

For the last couple months I've been working on a project called Tor
Browser Launcher that I hope will eventually turn into the recommended
way for GNU/Linux (and eventually Windows and Mac) users to install Tor
Browser Bundle.

It downloads the correct TBB for your architecture and language,
verifies signatures, auto-updates, and adds an application launcher. I
want to get it in deb.torproject.org, and eventually in Debian and
Ubuntu.

Here's the code:

It's just about ready for it's first release! Here's a blog post I just
wrote asking for people to test it out and submit bugs to github.
Please help me test it!

Since Tor Browser Launcher actually verifies gnupg sigs and
auto-updates, I believe it's currently the most secure way to install
TBB for regular use in GNU/Linux.
