Comment (by asn):

 And here are some more things we need to fix. These were found while
 deploying the script to weasel's dirauth:

 * Apply these two patches:
   https://www.palfrader.org/volatile/2015-01-02-pi6uUb3Tl5U/0001-Random-
 shell-cleanups.patch and
   https://www.palfrader.org/volatile/2015-01-02-ZIeQ6rV7YDA/0001-Remove-
 redirect-to-dev-null.patch

 * Get an official git repo for the guardfraction script.

 * Mention that stem is a requirement in the README file.

 * Have an example of a cron line in the README.

 * Add suggestion in README to use chronic to suppress cron output.

 * The mv line in the cron script can fail with "command line too big" if
 there are too many files.

 * `chmod +x` all the scripts
