Comment:

 The right solution IMO for 0.2.4 and earlier is probably to warn (or maybe
 even give an error) when the user specifies EntryNodes but sets
 UseEntryGuards 0.  options_validate() would be the right function to edit.
 Anybody got a patch?

 For 0.2.5 we could try to make EntryNodes restrict the entry nodes even
 when UseEntryGuards is 0, but that's more of a big feature.
