Yech, sorry.  What I meant to say was that portsnap didn't play nicely 
with proxies *requiring authentication*.  The patches should address 
that, though I haven't tried them personally.

The way to specify auth information should be:

            HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.example.com:8080
            HTTP_PROXY_AUTH=basic:*:<user>:<pwd>

(from man 3 fetch).

Thanks,
Marty
