Maybe I'm just an old-fashioned kind of guy :-) but as I was saying to
Peter, /usr/local/squid seems to be an _awful_ place to put squid's cache.
I mean, /usr/local is a hideous enough creation without adding anything else
to it :-)

So, I thought about it for a bit, and putting the cache under
/var/spool/squid was my best idea.  Ideally, it would be something like logs
under /var/log, pid under /var/run, and the cache would start directly under
/var/spool/squid (instead of a /var/spool/squid/cache).

Unfortunately, there isn't way to do that using configure.  We could run the
conf file through sed to fix it up a bit -- that would certainly be nice for
the pid and logs.  That still leaves the cache, and I think irrespective of
what people think of the rest of the paths, the cache belongs under
/var/spool/squid.

Anyway, flames to me, not Peter.
