I have written a PHP5 session handler that does this in PHP code (no C
extension) using mysql for storage -- minor modifications would make it
use memcached instead.  It is not publicly available, but I will prepare
it for public consumption tonight.  If you want it, shoot me an email at
abakun (same domain this email came from) and I'll email you after it's
up.
