It looks like you've done a good job. 4) Adding an option to configure.in to enable a (default=off) switch for USE_XCACHE. I don't feel like learning autoconf for this one thing. Such a feature would be a bad idea--useless complexity. Using a configure option to control something is a last resort. What would be both simpler and more useful is a feature at run time to turn the cache use on and off. A Lisp variable forwarded with DEFVAR_BOOL to a C int variable could control it. The entry points could avoid checking the cache if the C variable is 0.
