If it is just a matter of calling mixminion through usewithtor, then it
is quite fast and easy to implement. Having this working also on
platform not supported by Torsock, though, may be a bit more painful.

Anyway, if you want to try to modify the extension code to use torsocks
or like, go in mixWrapper.js and you will find the function
runMixminion. Look for the "command" variable, which is the command IPC
will execute. It should be initialized with

var command = sMixPath + sUseWithTorPath;

instead of just

var command = sMixPath;

as it is now. It should suffice, I guess.

Bye

Lorenzo
