I'm using the "Current" toolchain, with the addition of some package
from the mingwPORT collection (autoconf, automake, libtool, libicon,
zlib) and msysDTK-1.0.1.

Look to Squid 2.6 release notes, there is a section a called
"Building Squid on Windows" that could help you. I'have just seen now
that this section is missing from 2.7 release notes, while I think
that it should be still included. Same thing for both Squid-3 STABLE and HEAD.

I use the binaries from Shining Light Productions:

If you want a more big boost, try to build using Cygwin: is really a
CPU (h)eater .... :-)
