Comment (by nickm):

 IMO the right thing to do is to make bridge addresses be IP-only for now
 (in 0.2.5), and to later (0.2.6 or later) support accepting hostnames and
 passing them to the pluggable transports.  I don't think resolving
 hostnames at configure time makes sense.

 Anybody think that's a bad idea?
