On the Windows side, build Squid is very easy: just grub the latest
MinGW+MSYS developing environment according to the MinGW section of
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/CompilingSquid.

On the Unix side, currently I have the access to Irix, Tru64 and
Solaris boxes for build testing. If you need, I could define an
account for LDAP tests.

Guido
