 I am not sure if this is a PT packaging issue or a TBB build issue (and I
 don't know who should own this bug).

 On Mac OS – and probably on all platforms – within the installed TBB 3.6.2
 app bundle there are many directories named "test" or "tests", all located
 under Tor/PluggableTransports.  Is it safe to remove these directories and
 the files they contain?  It seems like a waste of space / added complexity
 to ship extra files that are (presumably) not used in TBB.
