 editing the version file. It generates versions like 1.3+git1fce958 (like
 `git describe`) for non-tag commits. I copied the idea over from
 obfsproxy.

 Okay. I wonder, could we deal with the versioneer issue in a separate
 patch/ticket? The factoring of functions into packages is very close to a
 slam dunk. The addition of a new largish third-party source file is less
 obviously a slam dunk. Also it's nice if a deduplication branch ends up
 with a net loss of lines of code.

 I'm relatively open to the idea of using versioneer, but as I say, could
 we deal with it separately? It appears there may be a technical obstacle
 in communicating the version number to `setup.py` from `Makefile`, but
 maybe you have an idea for how to deal with that?
