------------------------------+--------------------------------
 In order to stop tor and restart it cleanly, we would need a tor control
 port command to tell it to stop and cleanup all it's state so we can call
 the tor main again.

 This involves ensuring that all static variables are properly reset and
 cleanup is done correctly.

 Having good integration tests can go a long ways in ensuring that nothing
 breaks here.
