Comment(by arlolra):

 Replying to [comment:5 Sebastian]:
 > Hrm, come to think of this bug. We probably don't really want those two
 extra binaries in the TBB: TBB is too large already, let's not add extra
 stuff unless it's really warranted. Why is it not warranted? TBBs are for
 clients, not relay operators - clients never need to use upnp.

 For clients using Flashproxies, having the tor-fw-helper in the bundle
 would be quite useful. They need to accept incoming WebSocket connections
 so getting through NAT is important.

 The build process for the pluggable transport bundles makes use of the
 latest released TBBs, only adding the extra necessary configuration and
 components. Unfortunately, at the moment, compiling tor-fw-helper seems
 pretty tightly coupled to tor.
