It has some PR's, even a recent one by Remi Collet for 7.3
compatibility.
https://github.com/websupport-sk/pecl-memcache/pull/30

The open bug for 7.2 compatibility seems to be open only because nobody
bothered to close it.

The package without a d is AFAIK the only one that runs on Windows:
https://github.com/websupport-sk/pecl-memcache/issues/23#issuecomment-358956029
Client & server updates by 'nono303':

That would not be a good solution for the (few) Windows users.
