Thx!  I'd aptly managed to not find/notice that fork.

Does address the 'stale' development status.  Still, leaves some of the 
concerns about nginx ABI, etc. mentioned earlier.
I'll set up a test instance and take it all for a spin.

OTOH, I've setup a Varnish instance in front of WP.  As predicted, it's 
straightforward.

And, the test WP site 'feels' a *lot* more responsive than using the 
FastCGI cache alternative.

I've no quantitative benchmarks ... yet ... and I've not yet run all the 
'Canary' tests I need to by any stretch.  But it certainly looks promising.
