Nice, about time!  :-)

Writing services may seem intimidating at first, but is actually easier
than it looks.  I think you'll figure it out fairly quickly.  :-)

I dropped this leftover from the patch.

coreutils is already implicitly available, so I removed this input.

I changed this to just "Web caching proxy" to please 'guix lint'.

The license is actually GPL2+ according to the source code headers.

Applied with these changes, thank you!

[Message part 6 (text/plain, inline)]

The attached patch adds squid caching proxy so that we can all start
saving precious network bandwidth.

I lightly tested it with the attached squid config file, in foreground
mode, like the following:

# Create temporary test space for squid
mkdir /tmp/squid
# Create the hashed store directories
/gnu/store/szbiglrkvll6qdxcrg3ir0hz8zdc9h5f-squid-4.10/sbin/squid -N
-f ./squid.conf -z
# Run squid
/gnu/store/szbiglrkvll6qdxcrg3ir0hz8zdc9h5f-squid-4.10/sbin/squid -N
-f ./squid.conf

# In another shell
export http_proxy=localhost:3128
export https_proxy=localhost:3128
time wget google.fr
time wget google.fr
less /tmp/squid/access.log
less /tmp/squid/cache.log
ls -lah /tmp/squid/00/00

There's no shepherd ready to run service &
config definitions, as I still don't know how
to do that.

I'll try to create one, if no one beats me to
it, but it may already be useful as-is...
