> We ''will'' need to ship a NAT-punching tool in the Torouter after all
-- home Internet modems with built-in NAT functionality are far more
common than I thought. But I still think shipping 0.2.3.x is not going to
be a good idea for the next few months, so we should consider splitting
`tor-fw-helper` out of the Tor source tree and shipping it as a completely
separate package.

This is possible and this is what I meant when I suggested back-porting
tor-fw-helper itself on irc. Perhaps this was confusing because tor-fw-
helper also has the hooks inside of Tor that launch it? If we just back-
port the tool itself, it's really quite standalone, I think.
> We may need to have a script (other than Tor) automatically select a
good port for the Tor bridge, in case the user is running something else
(e.g. Skype) that grabs port 443. I think that also argues for using
`tor-fw-helper` separately from Tor, even with 0.2.3.x.
Arma describes this as 'the real ORPort auto' - that is - something that
randomly chooses a port, tests if it's open, launches tor-fw-helper,
confirms that everything is working and so on.
