I hate to say it, but Squid will not be simple to get the kind of results EZProxy gets. Shibboleth can take care of a handful (of probably some of your larger, more commonly accessed?) resources. Maybe Squid can take care of the rest, but my guess is it's the smaller, more niche resources that are the most problematic.
Stuart, can you go into some more detail regarding OCLC's changes? Is it just a massive price hike? Are they egregious terms of service? Once upon a time (pre-OCLC), EZProxy was a one-time fee, is that not the case anymore? I mean, can you not just keep running the version you're currently on? -Ross.
