The usual test is whether Windows supports something.  If Windows has
SOCKS support in ws2_32, then certainly, we're interested.  If not,
figuring out how Windows does it and adding support for that method is
more likely to get accepted.  As Steven said, adding new environment
variables is generally frowned on.
