SASL support should be optional #26

Closed rainhead closed 14 years ago

rainhead commented 14 years ago

I don't want to have to install Cyrus SASL on each of my servers just to support a Ruby memcache gem. It doesn't make sense, especially since memcache's big advantage is its simplicity and its light weight.

In theory I agree, but it was really difficult to build a conditional SWIG binding. Would be happy to accept a patch.

I wish I knew C and SWIG well enough to tackle this, but I really don't.
