Access for the uncomputed

[Patrick Coleman]

CGIProxy is quite good in my experience; it seems to proxify URLs
better than CECID does. It performs exactly the same task as CECID,
though CECID has a few extra features (banned word filtering).

I did mention a while ago that I would modify CECID to work as a
frontend for tor, but its not looking like I'm going to get time to do
that anytime soon (though I live in eternal hope). The codes all in
CVS (http://cecid.sf.net), if anyone's interested in picking it up and
working on it drop me a line.
