I agree that it would be a good exercise in an academic setting where
students have to learn their way around in C. Judging by other comments,
it would be a good term project.

For all other practical purposes, I think this would be a needless
duplication of efforts because we already have IPv6 support in Squid3
and _that_ needs more work if somebody has spare cycles.
