While trying to track down where the proxy option is lost, I just found  
the problem: Line 189 of remote_install.rb (in install_dependencies())  
reads:

remote_installer = RemoteInstaller.new

but should be something like:

if @http_proxy == false
   remote_installer = RemoteInstaller.new(:no_proxy)
elsif @http_proxy == true
   remote_installer = RemoteInstaller.new
else
   remote_installer = RemoteInstaller.new(@http_proxy)
end

Without the proxy option the setting from the environment variable is  
used, so this bug only shows itself when you need to use the proxy to  
connect to the internet but don't have the environment variable set.
