Added the writeup to cf.data.pre, and I've also added a fall back, so if
name= hasn't been specified on the config line, it will use the old
hashing mechanism (out of interest, is there a reason p->name inherits
p->host if name= is not specified?).

Latest patch is: http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=1550

I agree with Adrian, that before it gets committed, we should wait and
see if anyone comes up with any reasons why it shouldn't go in.
Definitely thin ice here as far as whether we're going to break anything
outside of squid if it gets enabled.
