Patch for Socks5 support for dynamic portforwaring?

[Alex Peuchert]

Hi,
thanks for your answer.

One suggestion: How about removing the complete Port Forwardig code from ssh
and introducing another subsystem (like sftp-server)?

It could work like this: the user command is 'ssocks' which opens a ssh
session to a server and starts the 'ssocks-server' subsystem.

I think this sounds quite simple...

There is a break point for features vs bloat.  At the time we removed
socks5 and http support because they were considered bloat.  No other
real reason.

I'd like to know the sock4 vs sock5 numbers for the userbase.  If people
are using sock5 more.  Then maybe sock4 should vanish in rebalance the
code growth.
