Bug #70033	Wrong build information on innodb/memcached

Description:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/innodb-memcached-setup.html says:

  [...]
  If you have the source code release, then there is a libevent 1.4.3 
  included in the package.

  1) Go to the directory plugin/innodb_memcached/libevent. 

  2) Issue the following commands to build and install the libevent library
  [...]

While this may have been true at some point (I haven't checked bzr history)
it was never the case for any of the released versions between 5.6.6 and 
current 5.6.13 (before 5.6.6 the innodb memcached plugin didn't exist at all)

libevent is bundled, but not within the plugin/innodb_memcached dir but at 
the top level source dir, and there is no need to build it seperately either.

Looks as if that manual section needs a major update ...

How to repeat:
Check documentation against actual source ...

Hello Hartmut,

Thank you for the bug report.
Yes, libevent is bundled, but not within the plugin/innodb_memcached dir but at the top level source dir, and there is no need to build it separately either.

Thanks,
Umesh

InnoDB memcached build information has been updated. Revisions should appear soon, in the next published documentation build.
