Yeah, but the output of gengetopt was not the way we liked it, and after
every run of gengetopt we would have to modify the created files, so we
just used it as the initial template, and have been manually editing it
since then :)

That'll be a big NO :)

I still have to work on that part of the code, but I'll add your idea to
the next release (probably tomorrow, since it's my day off :) )

I'll rework it into a 'generic header' option, so you can supply extra
headers to be sent to the proxy. Maybe something like:

proxytunnel ..... -H "User-agent: SpoofedAgent1.0" -H "Someotherheader:
somevalue" ....

You're allways welcome to do so :)

To you and Jos: I'll try and add the rc-file support after this, but
still want to rework it a bit before commiting the changes back to cvs.
Next release will still be without rc-files, but with the headers
function. After that i'll put in some rc-file support.
