The two big hassles for setting up a Linux box under some proxies are authentication and scripts for automatic configuration. cntlm is a great solution for the first problem, but the second one is still a PITA.
There are good tools for parsing such scripts. pactester is a good manual tool for the command line, and libproxy promises (I didn't test) simple and efficient functions for developers. IMHO, joining these two strengths would yield a killer solution.
Right now, I'm building a Linux test VM in an environment which uses a proxy with NTLMv2 authentication and a PAC auto configuration script. I have to manually add proxy IPs (checking each one with pactester) and filters for URLs which don't use proxy.
libproxy is hosted at https://code.google.com/p/libproxy/ . Recommend checking it out.
Keep up,
Emerson
