detect live network connection before reconnecting

NOTE: We suggest that you post on the Tunnelblick Discussion Group before
submitting an "Issue". (http://groups.google.com/group/tunnelblick-discuss)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. put the computer to sleep (close the lid)
2. go somewhere where there's no wifi, or disconnect your wifi for testing
3. open the lid (wake the machine up), tunnelblick will try to reconnect as mad 
despite the lack of connectivity. 

What is the expected output?
It should wait, there are frameworks in os x that will let app know about 
availability of connection.

What do you see instead?
tries to reconnect regardless. 

What version of Tunnelblick are you using? On what version of OS X?
10.7.0 Tunnelblick 3.2beta26 (build 2687) 

Please provide any additional information below. Please include your
configuration file and the contents of the OpenVPN Log window (including
the first few lines with version information), but remember to remove any
sensitive information such as IP addresses.

Tunnelblick tells OpenVPN to try to reconnect. OpenVPN tries to reconnect once 
every five seconds or so, resulting in a negligible CPU load.

In general, notifications are better than polling. But in this case, I don't 
consider the additional complication to be worth it. And my understanding is 
that those frameworks do not work on Tiger?

most of it available since 10.3. 

Tunnelblick can only restart the connection if it makes sense. Can it ?
