Thanks!

My first impressions:

1 - you don't follow our code style, run lib/checksrc.pl and you'll find many
     errors (tabs, spaces, line lengths)

2 - why did you move no_proxy out from the #ifdef? it will cause warnings on
     proxy-disabled builds!

3 - you disable the old way of finding proxies on windows. Even if that might
     not be the most popular way of providing proxy info (on windows), we can't
     blindly assume that the numbers of users of that concept is zero. API
     stability is one of the primary rules we live by.

4 - there's no documentation included for this functionality

Does this change which oldest possible Windows version libcurl can run on?
