IPSEC and FreeS/WAN might work if the user has win2k or newer, but I 
don't know about interoperability issues. Alternately, I could've sworn 
putty supported port forwards? A simple batch file that uses putty might 
  well do the trick.

If not there's always PPPTP but again I have no experience with that.
