Initial squid 1.2beta8 port. As the squid www page says:

"We are currently in a beta-test period for Squid-1.2. If you like
seeing Squid coredump frequently, please join us!"

"This is BETA software. Do not run this on your production systems.
Logfile formats are subject (and likely) to change at any time without
warning.

Here is a brief list of the major features of this version:
   HTTP/1.1 persisitent connections.
   Lower VM usage; in-transit objects are not held fully in memory.
   Totally independent swap directories.
   Customizable error texts.
   FTP supported internally; no more ftpget.
   Asynchronous disk operations (optional, requires pthreads library).
   Internal icons for FTP and gopher directories.
   snprintf() used everywhere instead of sprintf().
   ...and many more!
"
As well, there is support for using MD5 or SHA hashes of URL's in the
cache index for space (and speed?) savings, SNMP support, poll(2) is
used by default, etc.

Please see  http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/1.2.beta/  before using.
