There is nothing to do automatic migration. Individual setups are just too
individual.
I planned to make one but settled with an online validator similar to the
ones W3C provide to assist updating old configuration to 2.6. It takes
your squid.conf and marks each line as OK, EVIL, USELESS, or CHANGE-TO-___

http://squid.treenet.co.nz/cf.check/

When 3.0 came out I got trapped into 3.1 updates and bugs rather than the
planned 3.0 support in the validator :-( If you poke me a few times,
2.6stable18 and 3.x rules might happen over this month.
