Hello.

I have used the ProxyConnect option successfully.  However, I do not
use your method.
Instead, I modify my ~/.ssh/config file to contain ProxyCommand
sections for specific IP addresses or hosts.
It might make your command line a little bit easier to read and would
elimiate potential quoting errors.

I am also using corkscrew instead of connect.exe for ProxyCommand and
I compiled it myself inside of cygwin.

See man ssh_config
