There is also tsocks as well thats very light weight and will send most 
any cli app transparent to it ( even if it is not proxy aware ) via the 
shell, the config is simple too , e.x.

local  =  192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0

server=  ip.to.work.socks.proxy
server_type=  5
server_port=  7070


http://tsocks.sf.net ( I dont think its packaged but there may be 
sometihng similar in the archive, I've not looked in a very long time.
