Yup the last thing i want to do is add a module to _every_ project. I agree with the "as is" approach to a certain extent. If memcache_servers conf value is defined it attempts to import the memcache module. Im sure we can disable cache by default and do the same conditional importation :) sound like that would fit the bill?
