This package requires libmemcached which is not in EPEL 5 currently
(making it a candidate for EPEL rather than IUS).  I've contacted the
maintainer for libmemcached in Fedora (remi) who provided the following
feedback as to why it is not currently in EPEL:

"This library is under very active development (about 1 version every 2
months) and have a lot of ABI breaks between each version. So, not
really stable enough for EPEL policy."

I'm going to sit on this one for a bit.  If it comes down to it, we can
add the dep to IUS until it is stable enough for EPEL, however the same
ABI breakage would be an issue that we need to consider before adding
it.

Bug description:
I noticed that IUS packages PECL memcache. The PECL memcached extension is increasingly favored these days for various reasons, and a good package would make it easier to install. It does, however, require libmemcached. Remi's repository has good libmemcached and PECL memcached packages, if you're looking for a basis.
