How do I use a socks server with cygwin?

[CyberZombie]

That's just it -- I normally use 443 as a way to get through firewalls 
with ssh.  But at the company I work for (I'm a consultant), EVERY port 
is locked down or pushed through a socks server.  Hence my need to get a 
functional socks filter...
