You can skip the --enable-auth and --enable-auth-basic as well if you 
like. Both are enabled by default.

No. Distro packagers like to list all the features enabled explicitly. 
All options are optional (hence the name).

For CentOS see:
<http://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/CentOS#Compiling>

or you could use the YUM repository listed earlier on the page. IIRC, 
Eliezer has 3.5.12 packages that match what you need.

./configure should not have passed. Should have exited with a "compiler 
cannot make executables" error. Maybe you have some other c++ compiler 
on the system.
