Logicaly is almost impossible to prove the inexistence of something,
however to prove the existence of something, is enough to show a
single occurrence of that thing.

Then I need to ask you where is the documentation for proxy variables
standards to send it to the Subversion community:
http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2003-07/1672.shtml

Just kidding ;P

Now, thinking better, I need to agree with those who defend the proxy
environment variables on Wine, is almost a standard and is widely
used. I don't see any good reasons to not support them on Wine.

But, I have read in somewhere a reply from Alexander about avoiding
environment variables. However, I can't find this message again.
