 it seems like a no-brainer to me to include it in the default bundle.

 Here is a branch that packages tor-fw-helper on top of TBB 3.5.2. It's set
 up to have flashproxy-client listen on an ephemeral port and use tor-fw-
 helper to forward it. I sent a request to tor-qa that it be tested.

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/dcf/tor-browser-
 bundle.git/shortlog/refs/heads/tor-fw-helper

 There are existing tickets #4959 and #5213 that are about enabling tor-fw-
 helper. I closed #4959 and pointed it to #5213; I guess discussion of the
 patch can happen there.

 The only part that's not a no-brainer, assuming the branch actually works
 on all platforms, is that the safety of the miniupnpc and libnatpmp
 libraries is unknown (comment:3:ticket:9033). I didn't review it myself.
