hi alex,

yes.

not that i know of. you just need to tell configure where the
socks5 library is located. e.g.
bash# ./configure --with-socks5="-L/opt/local/lib -lsocks5"

don't think so. if you are having trouble with compiling in socks
support & use an OS which supports dynamic libraries, you can cheat
by running vanilla ssh under the runsocks command. i.e. dynamically
load the socks shared lib at runtime. see the runsocks man page for
more details.
hope this helps,
pauline
