Why no daemon mode?

Hi everyone,

I am sure, in antiquity, there was a reason for this, but
it has long bothered me that Squid doesn't automatically
disassociate itself and go into the background. Using
nohup on the RunCache script is a hack. For UNIX platforms
at any rate, it is very easy to send a process into the
background. That and a nice squidctl program to start, stop
and query the running status of the daemon would be a
really nice thing to have. Anyone object if I make it so?
