Uhm, in fact you probably even better do this:

  ssh -D 8080 [sshserver]

As that will make OpenSSH do a SOCKS-proxy for you over that tunnel. With that
up, you just point libcurl to use localhost:8080 as a socks proxy,

The ssh parts would be a plain OpenSSH command invoke, and the libcurl code
would be just regular libcurl code using a proxy.
