SSH Proxy Command -- connect.c

Shun-ichi GOTO <gotoh@imasy.or.jp> has written a very useful ProxyCommand
which allows the use of outbound SSH from behind a SOCKS4, SOCKS5 or
https CONNECT style proxy server. His page for connect.c has extensive
documentation on its use as well as compiled versions for Win32.
