Description

The config details for punching your way through a proxy need to be easily or 
automatically switchable based on the location of the client, in order to 
support mobile clients.

For example, at work I might access http://svn.collab.net/ through a proxy, 
because my employer has that set up.  From home, I would access http://
svn.collab.net/ without a proxy, 'cause I'm too lazy to do that for my home 
computer, and anyway I like NATs better.  Both accesses are via the same 
URL, so the present switching keyed off the URL doesn't help.

How it *should* be switched is not so obvious.  Could be based on client IP 
address (then again, nearly everyone is 192.168.x.x these days ;-(); could 
be based on some user-settable flag, symlink, etc (though this seems 
tiresome); could interact with any of several tools for switching environment, 
especially on older Windows systems.
