cntlm is what you looking for
http://cntlm.sourceforge.net/

It's available for linux and windows. Depending on your needs.

I'm using it for years and it's doing really well. It needs a little time to 
create a config file. But it's really powerful. It's even possible to provide 
your contractors a config file within your credentials. hint: see the -M 
option or just use it with interactive prompt (-I option).
