 I decided to take a crack at the multiple introducers problem.
 I've implemented a proof of concept relay, that connects to two, or more,
 introducer nodes and relays announcements between them.

 This would be used to connect two, or more, separate grids, so that nodes
 connected to either introducer, would would be aware of nodes connected to
 other introducers.

 Also, this demonstrates the fact that introducer nodes do not validate
 announcements at all, as the relay can easily modify the data it is
 relaying.

Comment:

 socrates: thanks for the patch! This ticket is redundant with #68, so I'm
 merging the two, but I'd also like to draw attention to this patch to
 readers of that ticket, so I'll post a comment there.
