Now committed to 2.5 as there was no objections, and I consider this a
major flaw of Squid.

Most devel branches should be relatively safe from these changes even if
this touched quite many files, and where cvsmerge does not figure it out
automatically for you it shouldn't be too hard to resolve manually
as most changes are relatively trivial in nature.

You may want to audit your own developments for the same class of
problems as adressed by this patch.
