FW: Memcached and local/unix domain sockets

[Neulinger, Nathan]

FYI in case anyone is interested. I sent the author a couple of simple
patches to add unix domain socket support. This would allow secure
local-server installation of memcached on multi-user servers. Patch
included for perl client and the memcached daemon itself, others should
be similarly easy to implement.
