9c8c90ec2f Sometime post 0.0.9, we should integrate an http proxy into Tor (maybe
as a third class of worker process), so we can stop shipping with the
beast that is Privoxy.

324b192f68 Make Tor use Niels Provos's libevent instead of it's current
poll-but-sometimes-select mess.  This will let us use faster async cores
(like epoll, kpoll, and /dev/poll), and hopefully work better on Windows
too.

There are some fairly nasty changes to main.c here; this will almost
certainly break something.  But hey, that's what alphas are for.

433cbf586f Define an elaborate set of lunacy to make sure that RPM versions do
the right thing with our recalcitrant versioning scheme.  See
tor.spec.in for full details.  Basically, the progression is now:

 Tor version         RPM version
  0.0.8          ---> 0.0.8
  0.0.8.1        ---> 0.0.8.1
  0.0.9pre1-cvs  ---> 0.0.8.99.0.0.9.pre.1.cvs
  0.0.9pre1      ---> 0.0.8.99.0.0.9.pre.1.release
  0.0.9pre2      ---> 0.0.8.99.0.0.9.pre.2.release
  0.0.9rc1       ---> 0.0.8.99.0.0.9.rc.1.release
  0.0.9          ---> 0.0.9
  0.0.9.1-cvs    ---> 0.0.9.0.99.0.0.9.1.cvs
  0.0.9.1        ---> 0.0.9.1

The spec file (but not the system) will break if a tor version ends in
".0", so don't do that yet.

57536f138a Fetch running-routers.
Split logic to initiate dirfetch, running-routers fetch, and
descriptor post.  arma: There are some XXXs here that raise design
questions which we should solve before the next release.

The biggest problem is this: Right now, the directory is about 50X as
large as running-routers uncompressed, and about 36X as large
compressed.  Assuming:

    - everybody gets the compressed version of everything,

    - everybody gets cached directories from random dirservers and
      uncached r-r from authdirservers

    - everybody downloads r-r at the same rate they now download dirs,

then using r-r from will *increase* authdirserver directory bandwidth usage
if there are significantly more caches than authdirservers.

I think it's safe to leave this in for now, since there aren't 3x36 caching
dirservers, but we should make everybody with a dirport cache running-routers
soon.  But I could be wrong.

954570486f Resolve a FIXME: use identity comparison, not nickname comparison, to
choose circuit ID types.  This is important because our view of "the
nickname of the router on the other side of this connection" is
skewed, and depends on whether we think the other rotuer is
verified--and there's no way to know whether another router thinks you
are verified.

For backward compatibility, we notice when the other router chooses
the same circuit ID type as us (because it's running an old version),
and switch our type to be polite.
