Comment:

 We could do this if a patch makes it in for the small-features deadline,
 but I don't know if I'll have time to write one.

 > More generally, there seem to be two use cases for TestingTorNetwork
 here: are you attempting to faithfully reproduce timing/etc problems from
 the real Tor network, or is the goal just-run-the-damn-Tor-network-and-
 make-it-work?

 I use it for the latter mostly; but if people use it for the former, this
 needs more thought.  Perhaps this option needs another name, and needs to
 be settable-only-when-TestingTorNetwork==1
