Some services needs to depend on lanmanworkstation because setuid
capability will invoke NT SAM calls - that use LanMan to authenticate in
a domain. For squid, TCPIP should be a good enough dependency. Having no
dependency will cause failures.

If you can find where it's stopping (prehaps by running under gdb) that
would help debug me get it corrected in cygwin.
