Dear Maintainer,

a package I am maintaining (src:seafile) started depending on
available SOCKS proxying support in libwebsockets.
From glancing at
https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/blob/c5e00391bbbfe9de87db2a37da85c03fd25054a7/CMakeLists-
implied-options.txt#L100,
I think that enabling -DLWS_WITH_SOCKS5=ON should simply be
enough to enable this without requiring additional
dependencies etc.

Thanks,
Moritz
