Comment(by nickm):

 Replying to [comment:43 nickm]:
 >  * In router.c, in consider_testing_reachability(), we need to decide
 what happens to reachability tests if we have excluded ourselves and set
 StrictNodes.  I lean to saying "Hey, you excluded yourself. What the hey?"
 and never learning that you are reachable.  If we've excluded ourselves
 and *not* set StrictNodes, then I say this should work.

 Added a patch to the head of my bug1090-part1 branch to implement this,
 and another to the head of desired_node_behavior to explain that self-
 testing is another thing that "StrictNodes 0" allows.
