Comment (by datallah):

 It certainly isn't required for Pidgin's operation, and I guess it isn't
 unreasonable to be able to disable it even though it isn't really that
 high of a risk considering that this is an IM client and you're exposing
 yourself far more simply by logging into any of your accounts.

 I'll add a "Enable automatic router port forwarding" preference to the
 network preferences that will be on by default.

 If both that and "Autodetect IP address" are disabled, no UPnP or NAT-PMP
 requests will be made.

 Sound reasonable?
