The first one is on pubmed but isn't coming up as a search result for
its DOI, because pubmed don't have its DOI in their database.  The third
one is on pubmed but doesn't have all the information.  Neither of those
I can do much about.

The second one is interesting, I will look into it.

Assuming a gnome-control-center installation isn't acceptable (KDE users
hate me enough already).  The proxy configuration stuff could also be
needed on various other platforms in the dim and distant future.
