 Okay, first off, I should say: 1) I'm relatively new to Tor and 2) I don't
 know C that well.

 A while back, I thought that it was a bad idea to have the hidden service
 hostname/privkey being written to the filesystem, unless it's either a
 tmpfs or an encrypted volume. For programs like Torchat (or alike), it
 would seem better to be able to hide the private key/hostname in an
 encrypted file (for example) versus in a filesystem.

 In the patch, I have added an ADDSERVICE command (after it's
 authenticated), and its arguments are:
 [hostname] [private key] [vport0] [rport0] [vport1] [rport1] ... [vport*]
 [rport*]

 I wasn't sure about which status codes to use, so I just used whatever.
 The code is rather inefficient, frankly because I'm awful at C and I'm
 probably causing a memory leak by not freeing some memory.
