What are my options, what commands, for setting up a SOCKS server without SSH?

I mean, purely within what is available in Cygwin, what is available to do it?
While I could look to install something natively, I ask, within cygwin, because i'm interested in learning the cygwin tool, and familiarising myself more with the large array of common *nix commands it presents.

There is no standalone SOCKS proxy server in the Cygwin distribution.
If you had to have something that ran "natively" under Cygwin you'd have
to build it yourself from source code. These look like they should do
the job:
http://www.inet.no/dante/download.html
http://ss5.sourceforge.net/software.htm
I'm not endorsing either, because the last time I used SOCKS was when I
was also using Windows NT 3.51, and the server I used back then doesn't
even exist any more. (NEC -> Permeo -> Blue Coat -> oblivion.)

That's an admirable sentiment, but there's not much about a SOCKS server
that would benefit from running under Cygwin:
- A SOCKS server doesn't access the disk to speak of, once it's running,
so it doesn't need POSIX filesystem emulation.
- You haven't already selected a server, so it's not like you're stuck
with one that doesn't have a native Windows port, so you need Cygwin to
port it over.
- A SOCKS server is purely a network proxy, so it doesn't necessarily
rely on other platform facilities. If you're only using SOCKS v4
features I'd be surprised if there's *anything* else in the platform the
SOCKS server interacts with once it's running. SOCKS v5 adds some
authentication methods that would let you link it to the Cygwin Kerberos
stuff, but Windows provides that just as well, so I don't see the advantage.
