Thank you Amos :)

I'll read this all carefully, and try to understand the core of squid.
Is the code really different from Squid 2 to Squid 3, or is this just
going to be testing that the code still works and re-formating it a bit ?

By the way, I can't promise quick advance in the coming weeks, but my
schedule will get less tight from Christmas on, and I'll get the serious
work done at this point.
