SwitchyAuto.pac compatibility problem on mac OS X

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Switchy for Google Chrome Mac OS X version.
2. Proceed to setup the auto switch mode, and select a proxy profile with a 
SOCKS5 proxy setting, such as 127.0.0.1:7070

What is the expected output?
Because the proxy setting is modified in System Preferences of OS X, besides 
used by Google Chrome, the auto generated pac file should better also be 
understood by other applications on OS X, such as Safari.

What do you see instead?
Because Safari dont use the "SOCKS5" syntax of the pac file, it can't parse the 
proxy rule.

Suggestion: Update the generation of pac file to make it more compatible-- use 
both "SOCKS" and "SOCKS5" directives in the pac file, as explained in this 
blog:
