Comment (by nickm):

 I'm collecting patches here in "ticket14950_logs" here.  I addressed the
 issues in the original report so far.

 For the ones on startup, I am thinking of trying to sort things a little
 better, by making this happen earlier:
 {{{
 Feb 19 09:15:42.000 [notice] We weren't able to find support for all of
 the TLS ciphersuites that we wanted to advertise. This won't hurt
 security, but it might make your Tor (if run as a client) more easy for
 censors to block.
 Feb 19 09:15:42.000 [notice] To correct this, use a more recent OpenSSL,
 built without disabling any secure ciphers or features.
 }}}

 and suppress these when they are redundant with bootstrapped messages:
 {{{
 Feb 19 09:15:43.000 [notice] I learned some more directory information,
 but not enough to build a circuit: We need more microdescriptors: we have
 15/6955, and can only build 0% of likely paths. (We have 0% of guards bw,
 0% of midpoint bw, and 0% of exit bw = 0% of path bw.)
 Feb 19 09:15:46.000 [notice] We now have enough directory information to
 build circuits.
 Feb 19 09:15:47.000 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks
 like client functionality is working.

 }}}
