Well, it is marvin at keepthetouch.org. Dunno why it's just saying marvin for me.
I can set some extra headers, but they'll get sucked up by the list.

Either squid or junkbuster would be an excellent base. The only reason I chose
junkbuster is that it already runs on Windows, which would be a requirement
for the proxy to even be accepted at many places. Squid, though, could be
ported, and that I wouldn't mind.

As for doing better at caching than squid? No, I don't pretend that I can. The
only reason I say not like squid is that this proxy must support categories of
lists which can be blocked, instead of a single blacklist (or whitelist).
That's the main difference. Well, that and Windows compatibility :)
