keys with spaces in

[Justin Matlock]

That API has a ton of problems -- it was a direct port from Perl and was
never completely debugged.  Use the newer one written by Ryan Dean -- it
works much better, and is about 40% faster than the original API.

http://www.cytherianage.net/~rtdean/memcached-client-php-0.1.1.tar.gz

As far as I know, keys aren't supposed to have spaces; the API could check
for them -- but that would add another speed degredation... I think that
should be the responsibility of the code calling the API -- not the API
itself.

To check things out; I added a str_replace to strip spaces from keys into
the 0.1.1 API ... on my site, it slowed the memcached system down about
4%... a pretty big speed hit just to catch programmer mistakes.
