"snappy install" will honor the http_proxy environment and it
currently uses libcurl for the downloading which supports ntlm. So the
pieces should be there, one gotcha is that sudo cleans the environment
so something like "sudo http_proxy=... snappy" must be used or it must
be set system-wide. Unfortunately I can not test my theory that it
will work as I don't have a ntlm proxy to test against.
