G'day,

There's a patch in the Squid bugzilla somewhere which implements tproxy
support against Squid-2. I'd like to include this into Squid-2, but:

* We can't just drop tproxy-2 support, as people are currently using it;
* I'd like to support both this and the FreeBSD transparency methods
  (I've got some test code for a FreeBSD version of your work, against
  FreeBSD-current)
* So what I'd like to do is (simply!) break out the tproxy-specific code
  in Squid-2 and create tproxy2, tproxy4 and freebsd modules for
  transparency.
