 * status:  needs_review => needs_revision


Comment:

 This needs more work than I can give it, but I should say some stuff:
   * It would be a good idea to learn how to do safe string handling in C.
 strcat is just as bad as strcpy.  I do not want heap overflows in tor.
   * "/etc/tor.d" is still hardwired.
   * It still uses a fake command line.
   * It fails badly if smartlist_len(dirlist) is greater than CHAR_MAX.
 Why would you ever use a char for that?
   * concatenating files is probably not the right approach.

 These are just the basic issues; there are lots of comments and design
 discussions I made above that are still unfixed.  I think this whole thing
 needs a total rewrite.
