On http://www.squid-cache.org there is no Gopher mentioned so I didn't
download and try it.
But I was looking in Google:
http-gw  -> HTTP/Gopher proxy - but couldn't find a source or binary package
delegate -> Multifunctional Server/Proxy/whatever ... -

I looked in the source of delegate and it looked like it understood both
types of request:
	GET gopher://... HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n
and
	gopher://...\r\n
But after installing and configuring it didn't work - it always looked
for a host named '-' but ok...
I think I'll implement the GET gopher://foo HTTP/1.0 variant, because
it's less work for me ;) (just the http_proxy routines with a
gopher-url) ...

But now the main thing is the recursion - I hope that I can release
today...
