new .net client for memcached

[KevinImNotSpacey]

This client looks really good for .NET.  For instance the open source client
listed on danga doesn't fail very well when you pull the connection on one
of the servers in the pool, you get a flood of exceptions.  This client much
more correctly flags the server as down, removes it from the list and then
checks to see if its back up at a later time.

That alone is really sweet.  Using native .NET configs is nice too, the
class design is also much more extensible.  Everyone will have to customize
the client for their environment and this client will be easy customize.

I would like to add the ability to define different "bins" or groups of
servers for different cache purposes, instead of having the one big list, we
can discuss offline.  The only other thing i see right off is that I'll need
to remove the log4net debug calls for our prod environment, but that's not a
big deal.

Thank you very much for sharing this code, hopefully we can help contribute
back, I'll be setting it up and testing this week and next.

Thanks!
Kevin
