I doubt their existing patches should be included in Squid sources because they are relatively large and very SmartFilter-specific. It would be rather unfair to ask Squid developers to maintain that code, and there are better alternatives to simply dumping parts of custom filters into Squid (e.g., ICAP and eCAP). Alex.
