[squid-dev] Converting squid to library

Hi,
I plan to use Squid for ssl-proxy in my project. However, I have my own
data-path and TCP stack I want to try it out with for performance reasons.
The TCP stack could be in user-space for example, if I use DPDK.

* Is there any potential pitfalls if I embark on this task?
* Is it better to convert squid to a library and link it to my process
along with DPDK (Option A)? Or is it better to try to link DPDK to squid
(Option B)?
* With squid I see that separate threads are created to manage certificate
mimicking etc. Do all of that get complicated with Option A?

I apologize in advance for some open ended questions. Please point me to
the right forum if these questions are not valid here.

Thanks,
Manju
