It will surely be a good thing if the http acceleration will be easier. I
will happily delete my text then. :)

Thanks for the pointer. Do you have any idea about the robustness of the
rework? Is it ready for production use?

I tried to patch squid-head-200109202301 with the rproxy patch from CVS,
but it gives me errors when linking the squid binary. Is there any
official testing version which compiles out-of-the-box?

You are right if every user has its own User and Group entry in
httpd.conf. However, if you have a team of developers working on the same
set of CGI scripts (under a shared directory), then suexec will refuse to
execute files created with their individual accounts. Thus they all have
to work over the same account.
