memcached for Win32

This is a port of memcached to the win32 architecture by Kronuz

The win32 version of memcached can be run both as a NT Service or from the command line.
To install memcached as a service, follow the next steps:
  1. Unzip the binaries in your desired directory (eg. c:\memcached)
  2. Install the service using the command: 'c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d install' from either the command line
  3. Start the server from the Microsoft Management Console or by running the following command: 'c:\memcached\memcached.exe -d start'
  4. Use the server, by default listening to port 11211
Use 'memcached.exe -h' for extra help and command line server
