Comment (by nickm):

 The API proposed above should get tweaked some: we don't want to have it
 take a tor_main_configuration_t object, since that is only used for
 setting up the main() function. Instead it should take some kind of token
 or handle to a running Tor instance.

 We'd need to extent the current API to return such a token or handle in a
 way that another thread could use.

 Remember that new APIs need to be implemented both by embedded Tor and
 libtorrunner.
