 issue for me to use in the tests.

 Attached as tst-descriptors.2. Again, I want to be able to parse files
 containing multiple descriptors in, say, a the cached-descriptors format
 (although better would be that, given a descriptor_type, parse_file just
 goes ahead and tries to parse as many router entries as exist) even though
 it is not named cached-descriptors. I want to do that because I'm writing
 a simulator that is operating over a series of effective cached-
 descriptors representing the changing state of the network over time.

 Thanks!
