This could probably be done for libcurl by peeking inside the registry
and setting the appropriate curl_easy_setopt options. This would be a handy
utility function to add to the examples directory as it would make it easier
for application authors to make libcurl work automatically with a manually-
configured proxy.

Recent versions of libcurl on Win32 call the native Windows NTLM
authentication functions, so libcurl also uses the "official" NTLM
implementation.
