Update the squid-2.4 port to actually _be_ squid-2.4 . Phew.
This port builds, installs, packages, pkg_delete's cleanly.

I'm going to run it through some more linting and tidying up before
I'm completely done with it.

Differences from squid22/squid23 :

* install-pinger isn't built. I'll tackle this later, possibly by creating
  a squid user/group. I don't like having suid binaries installed,
  even more so when 99% of the users of this port won't even enable
  ICMP pinging.

* I've enabled the lru and heap replacement policies. LRU is used by
  default, the beauty here is that the user can choose one or the other
  without needing a recompile.

* I've enabled ufs (sync), diskd (async) and null (no caching, only proxying).
  This again lets users choose what they want without needing a recompile.
  The default is still a 100mb cache in /usr/local/squid/cache/ running
  ufs. I would change it to diskd but if the user hasn't tweaked their
  sysV shm/msg parameters sufficiently they'll just be puzzled when squid
  gives mysterious sysV errors (and if they load it up enough to have UFS
  become an issue, they'd be better off reading the squid FAQ anyhow..)

This is the Squid Internet Object Cache developed by the National
Laboratory for Applied Networking Research (NLANR) and Internet
volunteers. This software is freely available for anyone to use.
This software is based on the Harvest Object Cache developed by
the University of Colorado and the University of Southern California.
The Harvest home page is http://harvest.cs.colorado.edu/.
ARPA funding for the Harvest project has ended, the squid project has
continued development of the cache where Harvest finished.
FreeBSD PORTER'S NOTES. To this moment, Squid is not well documented.
But you aren't lost in space: there is a mailing list,
<squid-users@squid-cache.org>, where you will find some support and help.
We also _strongly_ suggest you to examine Web pages noted above.
