files were repository copied to www/squid11, then this commit brings it
to 1.1.b13. (This was Satoshi's idea :-) It preserves the history)
Squid-1.0 and 1.1 are under parallel development, kinda like when we had
2.1-stable and 2.2-current in parallel development. The 1.0 code is well
polished, and 1.1 is "on the bleeding edge" as such. The features and
performance are much improved, but it can be a bit hair-raising. I
personally have no major hassles with 1.1beta13.
Among the nicer things that this version has over 1.0:
- URL redirector.. ie: you can rewrite url's of sites with "mirrors"
so that you don't have 15 copies of the same files.
- optional ident logging
- improved acl's
- dramatically improved cache directory structure (scales much better with
gigantic disk caches)
- much improved DNS ttl handling (esp. with resolver hack)
- more control over neighbor status; parent, sibling etc.
- much improved refresh rules to help combat stupid sites that needlessly
set the Expires: field to zero when it doesn't need to be. (This is fine
when it's genuinely needed, but some sites really abuse it to to attempt
to negate caching to get inflated hit counts etc)

and stability measures.
This port installs in a "FreeBSD-native" tree (like apache) rather than
with a mini hierarchy under /usr/local/squid/{bin,etc,cache,logs,...}
(the default behavior seems to have changed between 1.0.0 and 1.0.20)
Also, build a rc.d/squid.sh script.
