These are all concerns for the apr_get_http_proxy() interface, yah.
But the *most important thing* is, get SOMETHING working now :-), then
add the cool stuff (such as looking in secret places for the proxy

as reality teaches us what belongs there. We don't need to get it all
on the first pass, right?
