First thoughts: why not Zend or Pear cache libraries?

http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.cache.theory.html#zend.cache.factory
http://pear.php.net/package/Cache_Lite
http://pear.php.net/package/Cache

The pear packages are looking for maintainers - perhaps you could roll
your work into that?

So, what is your goal with this caching library?  FE caching can be
fixed with more boxes or a squid layer.  Datasources can be harder to
cache but will be much more valuable when you try to scale.
