Yes, I use such a setup for offering ssh to end users on UNIX.
It's a perl script that make use of squid's CONNECT
capabilities (method).=20
You have to add port 22 then to your allowed SSL port's acl.
I think it only works for OpenSSH versions , which allow
specifying the tunneling perl script as a proxy.

On Windows 'putty'
(http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/)
can also make/use advantage of the
SQUID proxy for outgoing ssh, apparently without any problem.
