Considering that memcache patches are floating around with several
problems, and the amount of time that I put into this, I have made
the Postfix memcache client part of the 2.9 release. This version
will at least reliably report problems with memcache servers.
The Postfix memcache client will compile only with libmemcache
1.4.0. The reason is that some API details were documented by looking
at libmemcache source code. Such details will likely change when
(if it ever happens) libmemcache is updated.
