Well, ideally, I was assuming that http_proxy was a semi-standard
environment variable for such things. If not, then life is just going to
suck and then any per OS gunk that needs to happen maybe should be in
SVN instead of APR.

Kind of a shame though, because accessing the data on Win32 is pretty
straight forward.

Oh well, nobody said making life easy for the user was ever pretty code.
