 Replying to [comment:21 mikeperry]:
 > However, I do feel like we want more info in this string, though. It
 would be very useful to have the libevent version and polling method
 included, for example. These should be added to the version string, IMO.

 And by 'the version string', I think Mike means 'the platform string'.

 > So, in my ideal world, the version string would be Tor major+minor
 version + libevent version + method, with no arch, and no git hash. Maybe
 also OS, depending on what Nick says about libevent capturing this info.

 Taking arch out sounds plausible on first glance.

 I wonder how much redundancy there is between 'libevent method' and 'OS'.
