There is wrong documentation if using the code from README.txt

$conf['cache_backends'] = array('sites/all/modules/varnish/varnish.cache.inc');

is overriding all backends. So to use varnish with memcache there should read:

$conf['cache_backends'][] = 'sites/all/modules/varnish/varnish.cache.inc';
//add memcache as cache_backend
$conf['cache_backends'][] = 'sites/all/modules/memcache/memcache.inc';

This is an easy doc improvement that can help so many people who do not pay attention to the code and just copy and paste the README file info, like me :)

I experienced this bug with a custom module that provides a cache bachend that stop working after using this. This patch will provide some doc that will work on every drupal site.

These changes should be applied to project page too.

Thank you!
