This looks nice. The torsocks5 library looks very similar to
socksHandshake in the proxy.lua library; what are the main differences.

Indeed. As I say in the remarks, I found this proxy-open-socks.nse by
Joao (2009) and proxy.lua is (I guess) the ultimate outcome of his work...
I would prefer to have a library handling "SOCKS" instead of "Tor
SOCKS"; Tor-related scripts can do whatever extra they need to deal with
specifics of Tor.

The status reporting needs to change. Instead of returning a status
containing an error string, return nil followed by an error string. This
is the standard used in other libraries and avoids having to do string
comparison to detect errors.

...and after all, maybe I should work on a patch for proxy.lua instead.
This may be more consistent than a standalone lib.

Thanks for the review anyway,
