Allowing only authenticated web access blocks skype:

	acl PASSWORD proxy_auth REQUIRED
	http_access allow PASSWORD
	http_access deny all

Admittedly, this was the configuration, and it was impossible to 
*allow* skype.  Although Skype understands the concept of a proxy 
server, it doesn't understand the concept of authentication --or 
at least, when it really matters, it doesn't try to authenticate, 
very much like MSN messenger. NTLM auth would block it even 
harder, I suspect.
