I just spent some time trolling back through the VCS history. 0.36 (released
January 2010) is the first version to have memcached_return_t. Before that it
was called memcached_return. Other than the name change, the typedef is
unchanged, so I wonder if changing memcached_return_t to memcached_return
would be enough to get it to build with the older version. The commit message
for the commit that changed it is "Style cleanup".

In any case, I think 0.36 ought to be the minimum supported version in the
configure check.
