I wasn't sure how to do that without screwing with the main squid3-old
repository backup. Gave it a try on local branch and could not merge
between it and the main bound trunk for some weird reason related to
locks.
Does not matter now, I went for porting the patch(es) straight to trunk
and loosing the very messy revision history. We would have had to do
that anyway for a sensible merge commit so it was not really a loss,
just time waste.

Got the results. Cheers to both of you. :-)

That "using foo;" C++ magic worried me. Will have to look it up whether
it actually is best to use in place of #define and polish the whole set
of wrappers one way or the other.
