connect to guards that we think are unreachable from time to time.
Make sure that we don't freak out when the network is down.
o Reconstruct ChangeLog; put rolled-up info in ReleaseNotes or something.
Items for 0.1.2.x:
- weight dir requests by advertised bandwidth? with maybe a lower cutoff
R - weight dir requests by advertised bandwidth? with maybe a lower cutoff
than for tor traffic. perhaps also weighted by the expected size of
the response.
o enumerate events of important things that occur in tor, so vidalia can
react.
o Backend implementation
o Actually list all the events (notice and warn log messages are a good
place to look.) Divide messages into categories, perhaps.
o Specify general event system
o Specify actual events.
o Implement or defer remaining events
D Implement or defer GETINFO list of current status events.
o Clean up relevant bits of control-spec.txt
. Have (and document) a BEGIN_DIR relay cell that means "Connect to your
directory port."

o include ORPort in DirServers lines so we can know where to connect.

o Have a mode that doesn't write to disk much, so we can run Tor on
flash memory (e.g. Linksys routers or USB keys).

o crank up the numbers if avoiddiskwrites is on.
