Adding package name to the stat output

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Because there are several caching servers floating around that implement the 
memcache protocol, I thought it might be nice if there was an easy way for a 
consumer to check just what type of server they were connected to. I'm 
including a patch (against the 1.4.9 codebase) which would adds a 'type' field 
to the stats output, and would also suggest adding this field to a future 
version of the protocol doc. You might also want to consider adding a 
'platform' field to indicate whether the daemon is running atop Linux, Solaris, 
BSD, Windows, etc.

Yeah. Maybe? I have some awful thoughts about people running "stats" on every 
new connection.

I'll think about it :) If anyone else wishes to comment you should leave a note 
here or on the ML thread.

I plan to include the information as part of a debug report. It goes along with 
information about the operating system, rdbms type, libraries, and version info.

people can't just put their own package info into the "version" line?

Closing this as folks tend to decorate the version output when it's a 
fork/weirdness. that seems like the best idea.

if it doesn't work out in practice, we'll revisit of course :p
