Anything in the logs (squid and NT event log), or did it simply go to
sleep for no apparent reason?

access failure exception? What kind of "access failure"?

Your cache directory is probably not mounted in binary mode. (mount -b)
This could count for both both the size mismatch and some of the poor
performance...

Yes. uudecode is not delivered with cygwin32 currently. You can use
winzip to unpack the shar archive (unpack it to the same directory), or
compile a uudecode binary yourself (or write one in perl)...

Installs fine here when I manually unpack the icons using winzip, and
have the install directory mounted in binary mode. Both icon files and
error pages are installed in the install directory as usual.

Requirements to build Squid on NT:
* CygWIN32 b19.1
* uudecode or winzip
* A install & cache directory mounted in binary mode
* /bin/sh
* Squid 1.2.beta19 + my timezone patch
* My regexp patch, or configure --enable-gnuregex

How to unpack the icons using winzip:
  Open icons.shar in standard mode (not expert mode)
  Extract the icons to the same directory (where icons.shar is).

How to mount the install directory in binary mode:
  mkdir c:\squid
  mount -b 'c:\squid' /usr/local/squid

How to get /bin/sh:
a) mkdir /bin
   cp -p $CYGROOT/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/sh /bin/sh
b) mount -b $CYGROOT\\H-i386-cygwin32\\bin /bin

I'd recommend mounting the cygwin bin directory as /bin and /usr/bin.

perl uudecode: (no -o option)

#!/usr/bin/perl
while(<>) {
  last if /^begin/;
}
chop;
(($perm,$file) = /^begin ([0-9]+) (.*)$/) || die("No begin");
open(OUT,">$file") || die("Can't open $file for writing");
chmod oct $perm,$file;
while(<>) {
  last if /^end/;
  chop;
  print OUT unpack("u",$_);
}
close OUT;
