Have you seen the new node list syntax in the development series, in
0.2.1.6-alpha and later?  Now you can do similar things with:
    
    # Use exit nodes in GB.
    ExitNodes {gb}

    # Use exit nodes in countries that have won the World Cup
    # recently. Also use any exit node at MIT.
    ExitNodes {it}, {br}, {fr}, 18.0.0.0/8

    # Don't use an exit node in any country that is sinking under
    # water.
    ExcludeExitNodes {mv}

{This is one of the reasons it's usually better to write feature
patches against the development series (where we add features) than
against stable versions.}
