A quick investigation of Linux-2.6 build model showed that the following
simple procedure works for compiling ip_wccp for your kernel:

1. Build and test your kernel. This is required in order to correcly build
additional modules..

2. Create a directory somewhere and place the ip_wccp.c file in this
directory.

3. In the same directory create a file named "Makefile" with the following
content:

   obj-m += ip_wccp.o

4. Compile the module by running the following from the top of the kernel
tree:

   make M=/path/to/above/directory modules modules_install

5. Update module dependencies by running

   depmod -a

6. Load the module

   modprobe ip_wccp

The above is tested on Fedora Core 2, but should work on any Linux-2.6
based system. A big improvement from Linux-2.4.

How to build extra modules without first compiling and testing your
kernel is possible but is outside the scope of this document as it is very
distribution dependent and not how things are supposed to be done.
