First thank you for working on this. According to squid web-page, 3.2 is 
the only stable version ("Current versions suitable for production 
use."), that is actively maintained. 3.1 and less are listed in "Old 
versions - Provided for archival purposes only. Not intended for general 
use in new installations". Is there still 2.7 users?! As for me, 3.2 
should go to www/squid and some kind of exp-run should be done to make 
sure the ports depending on it builds fine.
