Overview

   Right now, Tor user can manually exclude a node of all the part of
			circuits created using the directive ExcludeNodes.  
			This proposal makes this exclusion, less restrictive, allowing to 
			exclude a node only on the exit part of a circuit.

Motivation

   Helping the integration into vidalia (tor exit branch)or other tools,
			of features to exclude a country for exit without reducing 
			circuits possibilites,	an privacy.
			This feature could help people from a country were many sites 
			are blocked	to exclude this country for browsing, giving them a 
			more stable navigation.
			Add the possibility for the user to exclude the current used exit
			node. 
			
			
Implementation

			ExcludeExitNodes is similar to ExcludeNodes except it's only
			the exit node which is excluded for circuit build.
			
			Tor doesn't warn if node from this list is not an exit node.

Security implications:

			Open also possibilities for a future user bad exit reporting.
