Squid started out as patches for Harvest whenever its (free) development
stopped. However squid now has more functionally than Harvest cached - in
the same way as Apache started from NCSA's httpd. Have a look at

I'm using the webcounter module as it's neater.

Creating a debian package of apache1.1.1 is simple - I just used the
debian.* files out of the old package as a basis. That's when I started
added extras like the webcounter.......

Can do. I haven't started on it yet - hopefully within the next week. A
few header files gated needs seem to be missing (like
/usr/include/netinet/ip_var.h) and I believe that libc5.3.x should have
them so I may need to upgrade parts of my system to "unstable".
