Comment (by arma):

 Note that my hack placement writes out the consensus with one signature on
 it (our own). I could imagine a different placement of this code that
 writes out the consensus with as many sigs as we were able to place on it
 -- wherever it is that we check to see whether there are enough sigs.

 I'm also not clear that I've picked the best possible file names. And
 maybe dir auths want to do this behavior by default, or maybe it should be
 gated by a torrc option.

 Here be bike sheds. :)
