Comment (by nickm):

 The big question in my opinion is to see whether anybody actually actually
 wants this functionality.  It won't work for relays (since consumer NAT
 sucks), so we need to evaluate if there are a significant number of cases
 where we should have Tor launch it.

 I've added a patch to remove the old tor-fw-helper and tell people where
 to look for one not tied to our old code. Let's see if we can find a way
 to tell whether anyone uses the new one?

 It's in my branch `bug133338`.
