Yes I was.

I'm afraid I've been busy doing things for money, and I'm on holiday for a 
week in an hour's time, so if you could try it yourself and tell me how you 
get on, it will remind me to deal with it when I get back.

Alternatively, post it as a wishlist bug against ssh (if someone has not 
already done so).

The problem is getting it so that people who don't use socks are not forced to 
install libsocks.

Cheers, Phil.
