Fine by me.

My view is that Squid-3 is currently unfrozen. The list of bugs is simply
too long to claim it is reasonable to fork Squid-3.0 to let it stabilize
for a STABLE release, and it has taken way to long time to get them fixed
making it a too big hinderance for further developments to not allowing
new features at this point in time.

A very good reason to get this into HEAD.

Good.

the auth_modules.sh thingy is mostly a C hack to get around the fact that
there is no way of activate stuff by linking like there is in C++.
