One of the mialing list FAQs is whether there is any better way than the
current wiki WindowsUpdate page method to store windows updates. People
mumble about WSUS but nothing has been written to say how to integrate
it yet - so it keeps popping up as either a direct question or as
something like the project you have just spent time on.

But a how-to on getting Squid to use that software as a peer or such to
fetch from would be a nice rounding out of the WU documentation.
