I'am sure you know this but to understand your question right.

Squid is a forwarding proxy
nginx is a webserver, with possibility to forward requests to
proxy-backends

You now want to use the nginx 'framework' to build a forwarding proxy as
a separate module like http and mail, is this right?

Yes I think this is a nice idea and a lot of work ;-)
