using gump from behind a proxy

... doesn't work since JVM arguments do not trickle down to the Jenny 
invocation.

Must be more of an Ant question, but here goes anyhow:

setting ANT_OPTS=-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.pandora.be -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080

nor

ant -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.pandora.be -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 xref

is doing anything meaningfull:

gen:
      [java] Failed to expand module with href 
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/~checkout~/jakarta-ant-myrmidon/gump.xml bec
ause of exception java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out: connect

I patched my local copy accordingly, but there must be some better way?

Unsetting the fork attribute doesn't help neither.

Using Ant 1.5 on W2K.
