I don't find memcached as a platform offensive. We don't currently have any conceptually blocking commands, but that might be useful because whatever work would be done in that direction would also open it up for a lock server backend (since that's also in this space and people keep using memcached for that). I wrote elock for my purposes: http://github.com/dustin/elock -- I've been pretty happy with it so far.
