 descriptor to the bridge authority directly, not via Tor, because the
 bridge didn't have the bridge authority's descriptor.  This is
 understandable, because the private bridge authority didn't publish its
 descriptor to moria1 et al.  When deploying the code on Tonga, this won't
 be an issue.

 I don't remember the exact code line.  It had to do with needing anonymity
 when fetching descriptors.  Search for "anonymized_connection" in
 directory.c.  You can probably look up the change I made by running git
 diff in ~/tor/ on the host you gave me for testing.

 I tried writing the descriptor to the cached-descriptors file before
 starting Tor.  For some reason that didn't work, so I changed the needs-
 anonymity thing and got it working.  But in theory the cached-descriptors
 file trick should work, too.
