trunk should be in phase with this (ConcurrentHashMap). I'll test it
further tomorrow (hope to find time) but any review would be welcomed.

Main things which can be enhance I guess are the eviction rules
(org.apache.commons.jcs.jcache.JCSCache#evict).

Then I plan to add few utilities in jcache-extra module
(CompositeCacheLoader, CompositeCacheWriter, AsyncCacheLoader,
AsyncCacheWriter, SingleItemCacheLoader, SingleItemCacheWriter,...all
implementing Factory too to make it nicer in the MutableConfiguration
API)

Then JCache should be ok for a release.

Any objection (mainly on the fact we don't rely on jcs-core)?
