recently i found this link:

http://list.cineca.it/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0102&L=squid&D=0&P=27599

that explains how to get squid-ssl. after following the instructions,
everything seems to checkout fine BUT i was missing a configure script!
so i grabbed the v2/2.5 snapshot and used that one and configure seemed
to run fine however there was no mention of SSL Gatewaying enabled... i
did the make and got these errors.

gcc: @SSL_OBJS@: No such file or directory
gcc: @SSLLIB@: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [squid] Error 1

i guess SSL_OBJS is supposed to be perhaps ssl_support.o and SSLLIB is
supposed to be -lssl -lcrypto but i'm not really sure. where can i get
a proper configure script so that these two variables are defined and i
can go about my way?
