Replying to myself is a bad habit... I was just reading over various
archives and manpages, and it occurs to me that I am not certain if
the NO_PROXY environment variable will even work if the proxy is set
up using the CURLOPT_PROXY. There seems to be an implication that
CURLOPT_PROXY disables all of the proxy environment variables, quite
possibly including NO_PROXY. If this is the case, it makes it even
more necessary to add some sort of CURLOPT_NOPROXY setting, as the
only alternative is to write my own code to parse the exception list,
which is duplicating functionality that the library already has...
