I forked tinyproxy to create nanoproxy today.

I've been a regular user of tinyproxy for the past 2 years, as it allows me to masquerade as a user in another country/university pretty easily through a SSH shell account. Unfortunately, tinyproxy has been unmaintained for about 3 years now and is marked as inactive on SourceForge.net. There are known bugs in it. I also want it to be a part of my Linux distribution. So what's better than to maintain it. I tried to contact the last active author to ask for access to maintain it, but didn't get any responses so I forked it to a new project called nanoproxy. There'll be releases after a few things are fixed.
