     Just keep in mind that it would have to be a very small list because
the ExitPolicy syntax, probably for good reason, does not allow something
like

	ExitPolicy accept *.edu:80

for example.  For one thing, this would require a name server query by the
exit server for every exit connection to port 80 because the IP address
would not be known prior to the exit connection attempt.  Would a tiny
whitelist get enough use to justify putting it into an exit policy?
