I looked at the patch, and have had to request some changes before it 
can be accepted.

No this never will be an essential package. Also, I don't agree with 
changing Fink to enable this. Rather, the patch should be changed 
(and I'll happily work on that during weekend) to check the 
HTTP_PROXY environment variable, since this will allow it to work 
transparently with existing CVS checkouts, and removes the need to 
change anything inside Fink for this.

We might then consider to integrate this into the main CVS package, 
since nothing should be harmed by this change, I believe. Of course, 
great care must be taken to not use the proxy for "local" checkouts, 
I haven't yet looked at the patch close enoguh to see if it does that.


Cheers,

Max
