I do not agree with you: 

acl proxyallow url_regex "/etc/squid.allow"
acl proxydeny  url_regex "/etc/squid.deny"

and

http_access allow proxyallow allowed_hosts
http_access deny proxydeny
http_access allow allowed_hosts
http_access deny all

In my squid file do the job just fine!

The allow and deny files are all the tools you need.
The keywords are flat ASCII and row based and give 
all the flexibility you need. I don't see the need 
for any extra software.
