$ tor-resolve zp7zwyd5t3aju57m.onion
Jan 28 17:38:42.055 [warn] Got SOCKS5 status response '4': host is unreachable
Jan 28 17:38:42.055 [warn] zp7zwyd5t3aju57m.onion is a hidden service; those 
don't have IP addresses. To connect to a hidden service, you need to send the 
hostname to Tor; we suggest an application that uses SOCKS 4a.

The above output is informative, but not particularly useful for the case of
scripts.

The above web site gives an example of how to use tor which btraks when used
with .onion addresses.  One way to solve this would be for tor-resolve to
give "zp7zwyd5t3aju57m.onion" on stdout and the warning message on stderr,
that would inform users but work in the desired manner with scripts.

A small change to tor-resolve will make it work better with existing documented
practice and make it work with future use for .onion addresses in cases where
admins only care about non-onion addresses now.
