I don't have it completely implemented yet, but my solution was to
overload HUP. The signal handler checks for a file (squid.hup) and
proceeds based on the directives contained in that file. If it doesn't
find it, it acts just like the normal version.

Using this method you can make it do a variety of different things without
needing lots and lots of different signals.
