OK, this is checked in to HEAD now...
configure --with-proxycache[=no|yes|mod]
default is no, "yes" means build statically linked, "mod" means dynamic
module.
If --enable-modules was not given, then "mod" is changed to "yes".

I was tempted to change all of the backend flags to this form as well, but I
resisted the urge... It makes it a bit less tedious to configure tho, IMO.
