I've been stopped on much the same task, given that (at certain times of
the day) I need to rapidly assemble a list of the current cache contents
for a report. My best guess at this point (I haven't had time to get to
this task) is to keep the store.log and parse through it.

With a little work processing the data (taking care to watch for STORE
and RELEASE) I figure you can work out what's in the cache.
