Hi!

If you are getting this code from http://launchpad.net/libmemcached then
continue reading. Otherwise these directions are not for you (well maybe...).

To obtain code from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/libmemcached you will need to
issue the following command:

bzr branch lp:libmemcached

Once the tree is cloned you will need to build the "configure" script. You
can do this by running the script:

./config/autorun.sh

It will set up all of the files you need to build libmemcached. At that
point it is just the typical "./configure; make; make test; make install"

For a tarball release do a "make dist" and for an RPM type "make rpm".

For patches, we prefer you push a branch to launchpad and then submit that 
branch to be merged. For more information, see:

https://help.launchpad.net/Code/UploadingABranch
https://help.launchpad.net/Code/Review

Thanks and keep hacking!

Cheers,
