*grabs a battle axe* I'm with you!

I went ahead and compiled hiphop last night on a fresh VM. Couple of
notes for anyone trying to join us.

For those of you on Ubuntu or other flavors of Debian, the guide at [0] wil
pretty much walk you through it pain-free. One little gotcha: you need a
libmemcached of at least 0.39, and the latest version in 10.04 and below
is 0.31, so you'll either need to do a manual build, grab it from the newer
repo, or go ahead and bite the bullet and upgrade. Oh, and run make from
a screen and walk away for awhile, it's not the fastest build ever.

I finished building around 1am last night, didn't get to the next stage yet.

I might try building on OSX today. I couldn't get it to work ~6 months ago,
but those issues may well be resolved by now.
