There isn't anything all that helpful at the present time. Amos has been
working on automated documentation builds but they won't help you figure
out how the "bits" hold together yet.

There's no current project to implement that functionality. Please add
your request in the Squid bugzilla as a "feature request".

Projects only move forward if there's funding or someone gets interested
in it.
