I tried tor-browser after having installed it with pkg_add tor-browser

It wasn't working "out of the box" and no pkg-readme was provided.
It was looking for tor on port 9150 while the default tor SOCKs port is 9050.

I found out that after installing packages torbutton and tor-launcher and clearing
~/TorBrowser-Data, when running tor-browser again, I've got a greeting screen
about Tor, how to configure it, and tor-broswer menus "new identity" and
"rebuild circuits" were functional.

I think that www/tor-broswer/broswer should have a RUN_DEPENDS with
www/tor-browser/torbutton and www/tor-browser/tor-launcher (maybe even
www/tor-broswer/https-everywhere?) OR add a README file to
www/tor-browser/browser to explain steps.

The current state is bad in my opinion.
