Log:
don't lose a patch that mwenge wrote to put different destination
ports on different streams. one day i will make this into a real
proposal, and argue we should put it in.

+Title: Separate streams across circuits by destination port
+Version: $Revision$
+Last-Modified: $Date$
+Author: Robert Hogan
+Created: 21-Oct-2008
+Status: Draft
+
+Here's a patch Robert Hogan wrote to use only one destination port per
+circuit. It's based on a wishlist item Roger wrote, to never send AIM
+usernames over the same circuit that we're hoping to browse anonymously
+through. The remaining open question is: how many extra circuits does this
+cause an ordinary user to create? My guess is not very many, but I'm wary
+of putting this in until we have some better estimate. On the other hand,
+not putting it in means that we have a known security flaw. Hm.
