[tor-commits] [tor/master] Refactor the core of choosing by weights into a function



commit 07df4dd52d3ab2eea2e8a8fc3222a5d297d077de
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Thu Aug 9 13:47:42 2012 -0400

    Refactor the core of choosing by weights into a function
    
    This eliminates duplicated code, and lets us test a hairy piece of
    functionality.

+  o Code simplifications and refactoring:
+    - Move the core of our "choose a weighted element at random" logic
+      into its own function, and give it unit tests.  Now the logic is
+      testable, and a little less fragile too.
