Kali is based on Debian Testing. So you can use the Debian Testing or
Sid repositories to get the latest packages. It has 3.5.19 at present.
Which should be current enough, there were no critical changes in the .20.

The best way to do custom installs is to start with an install of the
distro package with apt. That gives you all the integration scripts,
paths and permissions etc.

Then do your custom compile over the top. Details specific for Debian
are at <http://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/Debian>. They should
work just as well for Kali.
