>Description:
we don't have a package for `squirm', which is a URL rewriter
suitable to use as the `redirect_program' in squid.
it's useful for blocking ads (by rewriting to a small blank
image), or redirecting users to closer/faster/cheaper mirrors.
>How-To-Repeat:
by inspection...
>Fix:
grab the code from http://www.senet.com.au/squirm/
make a package (after brutally hacking the hard coded
dependancies from /usr/local/squirm/* to more appropriate
settings).
