Why?

This is really, really needed to support OSX, not to mention the very 
troublesome security breach from DNS traffic going over the unencrypted LAN.

I can't possibly imagine a single reason not to support SOCKS5.  HTTP, 
sure -- but why not SOCKS5?

The fact that people _still_ keep bugging me about this has to mean 
something :-)
