who want to do it?

I will have a similar interface in my project included inside a java 
framework so I will not need it.
but if somebody will provide the update for the CGI (maybe writing to 
urls to a text or xml file) I'll do the add-on to WMSManager with pleasure.
Naturally, original author/s (Schuyler from SVN history) should agree, 
or we'll have to offer a different proxy_listed.cgi

I mean that I've seen some servers that instead of :
      <OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" 
xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?" />

have:
  <OnlineResource xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" 
xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="http://localhost/wms.cgi?" />


they still serve maps then maintainers don't care that much...
