One polling thread can now be set to run per queue. - default routing no longer producing queues like a:b:c, this was conflicting with MemCacheClient#stat - added handling for memcache exceptions - keep the database connection alive

Version 0.2.2, 15.02.08, rev 31 - added blaine cook's suggestion: worklings can now (also) be invoked like this: YourWorkling.asynch_your_method(options) - added similar for remote store, which can now be called like this: Workling::Return::Store.set(:key, "value")

Version 0.2.1, 14.02.08 rev. 24 - added WorklingError classes. - all runners now suppresses workling exceptions. This brings the local behaviour in line with the remote runners.
