Yes, but there's a special place in Heck reserved for the guy who 
designed the NTLM proxy servers :). I have to use "aps", which is 
written in (gasp) Python when I'm behind one of those, and mess with 
"http_proxy" environment variables. Can't RubyGems do that directly? 
Just ask me, "what's your NTLM password" and go get gems? Apparently 
not. Then again, neither can ActiveState's Perl Package Manager.
