Ideally, I would like the sysadmin running the pca client to use the -a

This should work, actually. You should see this in the client's debug output:
Adding to /tmp/pca.452179: header=X_PCA_USER: <user>
Adding to /tmp/pca.452179: header=X_PCA_PASSWD: <passwd>
It adds custom headers containing user/passwd to be set by wget when connecting
to the PCA proxy. On the proxy side, you should see this in the debug output:
Tue May 10 10:01:40 2011: Option user: <user>
Tue May 10 10:01:40 2011: Option passwd: <passwd>
I can't guarantee that this works in all possible setups (especially when web
proxies are involved), but I just tested it in my simple setup here, and it
works fine.
I'm hesitating to offer help on debug here because this might get complicated,
but if it doesn't work as expected, post debug output from the client and the
pca proxy when running e.g. "pca --debug --user USER --passwd PASSWD --download
146768-02" against a proxy which doesn't have user/passwd set in pca-proxy.conf.
I'll see what I can do.
