I'd say go with libmemcache> or libmemcache>=0 for now (since it's a new
package, there are no older versions in pkgsrc anyway), and use >=1.4.0
once it has been released.  You don't need the PKGREVISION, since the
version of the package itself will change also.  No changes will be
required to lighttpd then.
