I am in favor of it, with interfaces for at least

  * object store
  * removal policy
  * reply filters
  * request filters (extrapolation of redirectors)
  * ACL types

To allow for this, a few APIs of Squid should be formalized:

  * how to register for filedescriptor events
  * how to open files/sockets/pipes
  * how to sleep (time events).

I am also in favor for using dynamic linking in bringing these modules
in, but dynamic linking should be a optional feature, allowing for a
static binary to be built with all the required modules linked in from
start.
