OK, I have tried to compile OpenSSH as a library... and thing is: it can't
be done. Too many assumptions that we can kill the process and stuff.

Therefore, I can't use OpenSSH for that (I need to call C/C++ functions,
not access an external command).

Do you know any other ssh library able to act as a SOCKS proxy ?

Thanks,
