You had best discuss this with the libecap developers. Alex Rousskov is
in charge there, you can contact him via squid-dev mailing list or
www.measurement-factory.com. libecap itself is not part of the Squid
Project.

You need to build Squid-3.1 with explicitly
--with-ecap=/path/to/libecap.a anyway so it does not matter IMO. So long
as the library is pre-built and available somewhere identifiable before
Squid is built.

You may want to retain consistency with the 0.2.0 install location (I'm
not aware where that is though).

That is correct. libecap did not have stable revision control
implemented until 0.2.0 and the (now deprecated) squid-3.1 series does
not include support for using that revision control or the 0.2.0 library
ABI.

Yes it is one of several issues libecap had before 0.2.0 introduced
proper versioning support.
