Short user manual should add some text about obfsproxy bundles

The short user manual we send out with GetTor should add some text about the Tor Obfsproxy Bundle that just got added to GetTor.

Assinging this to component "Quality Assurance and Testing" for lack of a better component.

Should I write about the obfsproxy bundle or the pyobfsproxy bundle? I'm confused as to which one we're developing/maintaining/shipping/recommending these days. Is the pyobfsproxy bundle the new thing? Does it work on all platforms/versions?

Pyobfsproxy is what we should write about and recommend these days. We should link to the latest flashproxy/pyobfsproxy bundles. which AFAIK work on all the advertised platforms (see https://www.torproject.org/projects/obfsproxy.html.en). That is, Windows, OS X and Linux (32bit and 64bit).

Quick note: flashproxy/pyobfsproxy bundles are called pluggable transport bundles these days. I suggest we only mention these in the short user manual.
