Seriously, don’t do that.

The 0.3 series was already broken, and the 0.4 one is even worse. They
reimplemented again a non-standards-compliant HTTP parser, instead of
using an existing one. This library as a whole is a bucket of fail.

We need to rip the interesting parts from it and put them in
glib-networking, using libsoup for the HTTP parts and libjscore for JS
parsing. Any approach that keeps libproxy in the archive is doomed to
produce gazillions of bugs.
