Looks like we need some investigation into how to get Browse.xo to do it... :-)

Probably worth trying the "right" fix before the crude one. If
Browse.xo can DTRT with WPAD, a sideeffect will be that it'll work in
proxied+WPADded networks.

And if the XS does the conventional WPAD thing, other browsers that
know how to do WPAD will be able to connect...
