Comment(by asn):

 Replying to [comment:4 karsten]:
 > Here's another patch to add a timestamp to the first log message.  I
 think the purpose of writing "Brand new obfsproxy log:" was to see if
 writing to the log file works.  I reduced that to writing a single newline
 and added a log message to say that obfsproxy started.  (I need the start
 time for the stats script to know when a 24-hour stats period starts.)

 The "Brand new obfsproxy log:" string was written as a delimiter to
 separate log instances from each other.

 I think that open() with the `O_WRONLY` flag
 (`open_and_set_obfsproxy_logfile()`) should fail if you have no write
 permissions for the file.

 I think we can remove the `write_logfile_prologue()` function in its
 entirety, and simply add a:
 `log_info("\nStarting.")` after setting the logging_method, like you did.
 How do you feel about this?
