#2 Dynamic forward

[Fredrick W. Warren]

The dynamic forward function would be nice. All it takes is a
port address.

ssh -D 8080 <host>

in .ssh/config it looks like

DynamicForward 8080

Since this will allow you to use ssh as a socks 5 proxy, it is
a very useful option to add.

Theres a patch available against the 0.3 sourcecode to
implement a tunnel of type 'socks'. The naming will probably
change to 'dynamic' in the future, but this will do for now.
I will attach it to this request - so please test it... and
report your findings :)

Note that the 'host' and second 'port' are still mandatory
in the interface; however unused when choosing type 'socks'.
I will ofcourse fix that when this patch gets applied into
the gstm code.

The patch was gracefully provided by Johan Christiansen;
credits for this one go to him ;)
Johan, if you should read this, please contact me by other
means (eg. other email or msn) than your .it host since it
can't be resolved (NXDOMAIN) so I can't reply :(
