Probably, but if proxy information could be added into DHCP, DNS or similar, isn't that going to be a lot more straight-forward than everyone having to provide their own installers through a separate distribution channel? If a proxy can intercept secure traffic, that needs to be made really clear to the user (especially in cases such as those "FREE INTERNET!!!" ad-hoc networks that turn up in airports and similar), but that's presumably something for the browser peeps to figure out.
