Glad I'm not crazy ;)

Okay. Anyone else know of a more "correct" way to do this?

I'm thinking maybe I should use >=1.4.0 intially after all, and when
1.4.0 is really released, if the API has been broken (unlikely), I'll
bump the PKGREVISION to 1 and change the buildlink3.mk to pull in
memcache>=1.4.0nb1, to force any dependants (that will probably still
be only lighttpd) to update themselves.

Does this even make sense? Is it horrid? ;) If it is, then I'll go
with the libmemcache> hack instead.
