It's not clear whether one should use this module (apc) or the cacherouter module for running APC with Drupal 7. If cacherouter is the way to go please make it more clear on the project page. cacherouter has a beta version for D7 but the apc module has only an unstable version.

I suspect it is the same as http://drupal.org/project/xcache which has a very straight forward description!

No, this is actually different. Cacherouter has a custom implementation to allow different backends for the cache bin's. In Drupal 7 a new cache system has been added which allows different backends. APC is one of these backends implemented.

I'll keep this issue open to change the description.

In the interest of minimizing duplicate modules; I thought cacherouter would be using the new cache system in Drupal 7?

As for now Cache Router is still a different implementation of allowing different caching backends than Drupal 7 core. Discussion can be found at http://drupal.org/node/593238.
