Francesco reported build problems with the suggested sudo configuration.
The issue might be that somewhere along the way a user or group other
than root is used, or that there are problems with (NO)SETENV.

Update the manual to include an entry that should prevent such problems,
also add a line to deal with proxies.

 ```
 In the editor, allow the current user to run sudo without a password, e.g.:
 ```
- <user>  ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
+ <user>  ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
+ Defaults env_keep += "ftp_proxy http_proxy https_proxy no_proxy"
 ```
 Replace `<user>` with your user name. Use the tab character between the user name and parameters.
+The second line will make sure your proxy settings will not get lost when using `sudo`. Include it if you are in the unfortunate possition to having to deal with that.
