You need to have the correct versions of automake & autoconf installed,
then it should work..

Actually we prefer patches to just the original source files, not the
bootstrap.sh generated stuff. So just send it as-is to
squid-dev@squid-cache.org and we will look at integrating your changes.

libcrypt is needed for crypt() on many OS:es. Not exacly shadow
related.. so it's always needed by the getpwnam helper.
