A bit off-topic but after updating the client to 0.3.0.10 I noticed that 
torstatus.rueckgr.at some times reports US based exits which are excluded
by my config (ExcludeExitNodes {US}). Not a big deal for me but GeoIP
manupulation is a potential attack vector to reveal identities of people
who try to avoid certain countries.
