Silly me.  I should have done a better search.  Turns out that this 
feature "dynamic port forwarding" is not implemented yet in JSch but 
Atsuhiko kind of showed some interest in implementing it.

I am also inclined to take a crack at it if only because it looks like 
it might be fun.  Here's the approach I would take:  Study the OpenSSH 
implementation of the -D switch; map that solution to a method on the 
Session class, probably very similar to local and remote port 
forwarding, possibly Session.setPortForwardingD(port, host); send a 
patch to Atsuhiko; make a git branch available for testers.

If you think you can save me time and effort or that the approach is 
half-baked, I'd love to hear your opinions and suggestions.

And off we go ... :-)
