 ASLR is a windows feature that randomizes the address space to make it
 harder to write exploits.  Thanks for special's patch in #2358 , Tor now
 builds with ASLR turned on, but it's not so useful unless all of our
 libraries use it too.

 I don't anticipate much trouble from zlib and libevent; openssl might be
 less than delightful here.

 See #2358 for more background information.
