Prototype to index Squid Cache Objects

This is a prototype to use Squid Cache as additional Gatherer for Harvest. It scans Squid Cache object directories for HTML URLs and creates a SOIF stream which can be piped to template2db to create a database suitable for export by gatherd.

Possible improvements would be:

Create Broker objects instead of creating Gatherer database.
Only put objects into Gatherer database when necessary instead of creating a SOIF stream.
Modify object parser to read output from wget and larbin.
