Comment:

 This looks to now be moot due to the introduction of an ONLINE
 requirement...

 {{{
 atagar at morrigan:~/Desktop/stem$ ./run_tests.py --integ --test
 test.integ.control.controller
 ...
 test_extendcircuit (requires online target)                  [SKIPPED]
 }}}

 Usually I run tests with 0.2.1.30 to make sure we aren't introducing
 problems with older tor versions, but when I call EXTENDCIRCUIT with the
 equivalent call from that stacktrace I'm not getting a 512 response.
 Rather, it's a 552...

 {{{
 atagar at morrigan:~/Desktop/stem$ telnet localhost 9051
 Trying 127.0.0.1...
 Connected to localhost.
 Escape character is '^]'.

 AUTHENTICATE
 250 OK

 GETINFO version
 250-version=0.2.1.30
 250 OK

 EXTENDCIRCUIT 0 purpose=general
 552 No such router "purpose=general"
 }}}

 And with tor 0.2.3.16 it's a 551...

 {{{
 atagar at morrigan:~/Desktop/stem$ telnet localhost 9051
 Trying 127.0.0.1...
 Connected to localhost.

 551 Couldn't start circuit
 }}}

 Maybe we should check when the 'purpose=' argument was introduced, and
 have the Controller do a version check on that before trying to use it?
