 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

HTH,
