 bridgedb has a PROXY_LIST config option that pulls in a list of IPs that
 should be treated specially for the https bucket. The goal is to prevent
 people from using their open proxy list (or heck, the Tor network) to
 appear to be many users of the https bucket.

 Unfortunately, when we took down the bulk exit list cgi, we broke
 bridgedb's ability to learn Tor exit relay IPs.

 The new plan has been to wait for TorBEL to go live, since it will have a
 replacement bulk exit list script. But it looks like TorBEL will be a
 while more.

 In the mean time, weasel suggested that we use the old 'exitlist' script
 to generate a set of Tor exit IPs. That sounds like a great plan to me.
