 In order to make NCSA's Mosaic for the X Window System available for VMS
 systems and to fully support proxies, I made the following changes to the
 code:

 o Added support to various modules to build on VMS Systems using DEC TCP/IP
   Services for VMS (aka UCX)
 o Added no_proxy support both as an environmental variable and to the
   resource file
 o Fixed mime type lookups to do case-insensitive compares
 o Fixed proxy code to use the NNTPSERVER environmental variable for deciding
   on whether or not to use the proxy.
 o Fixed proxy code to handle file protocol correctly.  Separated
   fileProxy from ProxyGateway.  Checked for localhost in override proxy
   code to ignore proxies for localhost when using file protocol.

  When using proxies, you can define the following resources in the Mosaic
  resource file (~Mosaic on Unix systems, DECW$USER_DEFAULTS:MOSAIC.DAT on
  OpenVMS systems):

  Mosaic*ProxyGateway: 		http://www-proxy.site.org:8080/
  Mosaic*NoProxy:		localhost, site.org

  IF you wish to use the file protocol through the proxy server, you need
  to define the file proxy resource separately:

  Mosaic*FileProxy:		http://www-proxy.site.org:8080/

  If you are not running a proxy server, then you should NOT define any
  of these resources.  Note that www-proxy.site.org is the name of the
  host running the proxy server.  site.org is whatever sites you wish to
  exclude from going through the proxy server.
