It doesn't get simpler than this, folks.
Run `sbws server` on the same machine as a relay with an exit policy that
allows exiting to itself on a single port. (Notice: it won't get the exit flag)
The scanner builds two hop circuits consisting of the relay being measured and
a fast exit. Over these circuits it measures RTT and download performance.
Run `sbws client` on a well-connected machine on the Internet.

## Layout of the sbws repo
- `docs/` the source of the sbws documentation website.
- `sbws/` the source code for sbws.
- `sbws/core/` each file contains code specific to a single sbws command.
- `sbws/lib/` complex data structures and classes useful to one or more sbws
commands. If you're making a new class, it probably belongs here.
- `sbws/util/` simplier, "make life easier" collections of functions.
- `scripts/maint/` scripts for **maint**aining sbws and doing administrative
things like regenerating the website or updating the AUTHORS file.
- `scripts/tools/` misc. scripts for users of sbws.
- `tests/testnets/` scripts and code for running mini Tor networks locally and
performing integration tests with them.
- `tests/` unit tests executed with `pytest` or `tox`.

In addition to the overall semantic version for sbws as a whole, there are

Incrementing either of these version numbers requires a major version change
