can insert an extra string in the platform line by setting the
preprocessor variable TOR_BUILD_TAG. Resolves bug 2988.

before the first Tor release, in svn commit r152.

tor gets started. This prevents a wrong average bandwidth
estimate, which would cause relays to always start a new accounting
interval at the earliest possible moment. Fixes bug 2003; bugfix

immensely in tracking this bug down.
