I just experienced this "pleasure" myself when my (small) company was
acquired by a large company.

Hummingbird has a free (as in beer) solution to this problem for Windows
that works for Cygwin too:
http://www.hummingbird.com/products/nc/socks/install.html
I have been using the above very successfully with the following
applications:
o Netscape Navigator [1]
o Microsoft Internet Explorer [1]
o Netscape Instant Messenger
o CVS (anonymous pserver)
o ssh
o ncftp
o wget
o curl
o dict
[1] However, due to the benefits of a caching web proxy, I recommend
configuring these applications to use such instead of SOCKS, if available.
