Thanks for the help. I actually have a VPN running on top of tor now! The script I use is shaping up nicely and I can share it here, if there is interest. It also supports direct connections and http proxy instead of tor. I use it for all my VPN needs.
The use case for tor under the vpn is when you are on a hostile LAN (your neighbor wireless :-D ) The lan administrator can't see where you are connecting to or what you are doing there, while the exit node just knows it's ssh. I use it to create a VPN with my home server so that I can use the internet as if I was at my house. The only problem I am facing is the lack of speed. Can something be done about it? I was thinking to reduce the circuit lenght, but it seems there is no option for that. Any suggestion is welcome. PS: I don't know yet if it will work for hours...
