I just want to emphasise, that your response only regarding the windows
port..  I will look into that, I see it has install instructions on
that site.
I had not researched the windows port much. (which is one reason why I
did not mention the windows port as a problem in my original post)

But regarding the cygwin squid thing, I researched it.. Read all over
the mailing list, and was dealing with a classic error that had
solutions that were meant to work.
