Fire 0.32.g on 10.3 release

So I got my copy of Panther yesterday, installed it, and attempted to 
use Fire 0.32.g and it didn't connect to MSN any more.

So I checked out the Fire-0-32-Update tree from sourceforge and built 
it to figure out what's broke.

After a few things (removing -traditional-cpp from the cflags in a 
couple of places), I was able to get it built.  I than attempted to use 
the debugger and interestingly enough, Fire actually exposes a bug in 
xcode's gdb.  So I ran gdb from the command line and told it to ignore 
the error and go on anyway, and was able to isolate the problem.  So 
the ext_get_https_proxy routine calls a loosely documented (it does 
exist on developer.apple.com, but that's about the only place I can 
find it) api called SCDynamicStoreCopyProxies which appears to actually 
always return data even when there are NO proxies defined.  So skipping 
this call to ext_get_https_proxy and setting proxy = NULL I was able to 
get connected to MSN again.

I'll take a look a bit later and see if they didn't go ahead and update 
the internet config API to provide this information.
