Comment (by dcf):

 I tried building the flashproxy programs as GUI applications, not console
 applications. Everything breaks. The biggest problem is that the managed
 proxy interface requires transports to write to their stdout, lines like
 {{{
 VERSION 1
 CMETHOD flashproxy socks4 127.0.0.1:49212
 CMETHODS DONE
 }}}
 Tor seems not to be reading these lines when flashproxy-client is built as
 a GUI application, so it doesn't bootstrap (the progress bar stays at 0%).

 The other thing that doesn't work is flashproxy-reg-appspot. This program
 tries to run and read the output of flashproxy-reg-url. What happens is
 you get a popup reading "Errors occurred: See the logfile
 'C:\Users\user\Tor Browser\Tor\flashproxy-reg-appspot.exe.log' for
 details". That file contains
 {{{
 Failed to register: unknown url type:
 }}}
 It appears that it too fails to read the stdout of its child process.
