Comment (by dcf):

 For what it's worth, I didn't make the branch with the intention that it
 would be merged and I'm not asking for it to be merged. I don't think tor-
 fw-helper is ready for the flash proxy use case.

 I made the bundles because I wanted to do a survey to see how likely it is
 to work for users, which survey (https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail
 /tor-qa/2014-February/000324.html) got a few replies and mixed results.
 The second survey without NAT-PMP (https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail
 /tor-qa/2014-February/000338.html) got just one reply (successful) on IRC
 that I am aware of. tor-fw-helper doesn't work for me at home. Forcing
 IPv4 was only for an experiment and may be a net loss, because IPv6
 tunneling is one of the things that works to get around NAT.
