Comment(by arma):

 These are really long. I suggest two log lines:
 "Tor $version, running on $uname"
 which will look like
 "Tor v0.2.3.0-alpha-dev (git-b0a7e0d6ca45bef3), running on Linux x86_64"
 and then another
 [[This is an alpha release; do not rely on it for strong anonymity.]]

 The first line will be particularly long on Windows, and those are many of
 the users that we want to see the second line.

 I wonder if we might even want to break this into three lines (the middle
 one optional).
