Windows7 supports proxy configuration through Autounattend.xml
Unattended install sets everything needed to have a system-wide proxy
configuration.

The problem seems to be that it fails to notify wininet subsystem
(sometimes or always, it depends, I don't really know why/how exactly)

Anyways, this patch allow chocolatey to work reliably behind a proxy

I've been doing a lot of weird Windows debugging since I started working on malboxes but this must have been a rough one...

Thank you so much for such a complete resolution to a hairy problem!
