I added the following page to the wiki: http://macromates.com/wiki/ 
ToDo/Proxy

It seems that curl (and presumably other shell commands) understand  
the http_proxy environment variable (found out from here [1]).

I have made room for a list of commands that does not work with  
proxies (when this variable is set). So proxy users, please add to  
the list if there are commands you find not working.
