Please don't manually copy headers into your system areas. Install the
packages properly and they will do it themselves if needed. If they are
missing you often need to install the devel version of the package.

Netfilter:
   /usr/include/linux - where netfilter install all their headers. Same
as every other version of Squid.

TPROXY:
   Squid-3 HEAD only tests for Tproxy2.2 headers, if found it assumes
you have the Tproxy2.2 patch and does its old fashioned magic.

If they are missing, is switches to enabling Tproxy4+ which has no
detectable headers and is 2.6.24+ kernel-integrated.

Either way if you configure tproxy in 3-HEAD, one of them will be turned
on regardless of your missing headers. Just set 'tproxy' on an http_port
and you will see it in action.
