Gomemcache with multiget support

It's my pleasure to announce that gomemcache already has six contributors that have supplied changes and fixes to the original code base. A recent patch by Arbo von Monkiewitsch adds GetMulti() function that allows fetching values for multiple keys with one function call.
As a side note, one thrid of patches, as well as a few of my commits, are purely compatibility fixes for subsequent Go releases. I think that at the moment frequent changes to the standard libraries and the language core are the main blocker preventing wide adoption of Go by the IT industry.
