From /usr/src/openssh*/contrib/README:
http://www.imasy.or.jp/~gotoh/connect.c is a Unix and Windows
ProxyCommand which allows OpenSSH to make connections through a SOCKS5
or http proxy which supports the CONNECT method (eg. Squid).
Works fone for me. Compiles OOTB on Cygwin, I put it in
/usr/local/bin/proxyconnect, and added the following lines to /etc/ssh_config:
Host machine_that_needs_socks another_such_machine
ProxyCommand proxyconnect -R local -S socks.server.domain.tld %h %p
