I've just checked it for squid-3. There are a few patches we had to make
for 3.0 which are missing from the base code.

## getaddrinfo/getnameinfo/freeaddrinfo -> xgetaddr* ...
squid provides portable versions of these. Your configure may need to
detect and link to sometimes.

## strdup -> xstrdup

## including <squid>/includes/config.h

## 32 KB tokens
   squid-3 code will need tweaking to mention the name used in your code
for this buffer size macro. (MAX_AUTHTOKEN_LEN vs MAX_READ_BUF)

## RFC 2181 defines are provided by squid. (hostname max length)
  Though why squid does not use sysconf() itself is a question I don't
know the answer to yet.
I think we can probably ignore that difference for now.

I've also had to remove DOS line endings from the spnegohelp.* files to
diff properly.
