Squid 1.1.15 proxy server ported to OS/2

Squid is a (well-known) commonly used proxy-server, derived from the 'cached'
software of the Harvest project (see http://www.nlanr.net/Squid/ for detailed
information).

This is my attempt to move Squid to the OS/2 platform, the port is in a early
stage, comments are very welcome.

Changes from my Squid 1.1.0 port:
  * based on the latest Squid source
  * fixed a serious bug which led to TCP_REFRESH_HITs instead of TCP_HITs
    (the EMX library's time.h defines time_t unsigned long, Squid expects
    time_t to be signed)
  * now honors %ETC% environment variable to locate configuration file

Requirements:
  HPFS
  TCP/IP
  EMX runtime 0.9c

The following file is available from

  ftp-os2.nmsu.edu/incoming/
    (will be moved to /os2/apps/internet/www/server soon) or
  ftp.very.priv.at/squid/

  squid115a.zip (executables and source)
