Sadly I haven't found the WinHttpGetProxyForUrl API in MinGW W32API. So, use 
of this might rather be a long-term goal as it takes a while to get it 
included.

If the service is started by the GUI it still makes sense to use user specific 
proxy settings, doesn't it? One could consider auto-proxy for auto-started 
VPNs a misconfiguration, as well. Or am I mislead?
