Sadly enough, wget doesn't take user:passwd@ constructs :(

Add a note about proxy authentification

This patch adds a note to the users that, if their proxy requires
authentification, that they have to use the username:password@ construct.

If a documentation developer can review...

(ps received e-mail from sky that the construct does work -- just for the
record)
