 We should periodically check for dead functions in Tor, and remove them.

 We should have a tool to find them for us.

 We could use the cruddy approach I used to take, which I can no longer
 find the perl script that I used to have implement.  I'll attach a cruddy
 implementation of that one.

 We could use a tool like
 http://www.skynet.ie/~caolan/Packages/callcatcher.html , if that actually
 works, and turns out not to be stupid if I read about it for more than 60
 seconds.

 Other suggestions welcome, but please think of testing them before
 recommending them. :)
