If it was me I would do a cp on my current squid directory, then when
installing do a ./configure --someother directory. For example: if
squid is installed in /var/squid you could install the new version in
/usr/local/squid. Doing a ./configure --help will give you the exact
options. Then after installing you can either edit the new squid.conf
to suit, stop your old squid and start new squid with a ./squid -z to
build the cache directorys and then do a ./squid. If everything goes
south, then you can go back to your old version and figure out why the
new one didnt work.
