* Modified Federated memory allocation to use MEM_ROOT
* Modified sql_servers and federated to allocate share connection
parameters to use MEM_ROOT
* Modified Federated to allow tablename in addition to server name
* Implicit flushing of tables using altered/dropped server name
* Added tests to prove new functionality works

"Server Variables for Plugins"
Implement support for plugins to declare server variables.
Demonstrate functionality by removing InnoDB specific code from sql/*
New feature for HASH - HASH_UNIQUE flag
New feature for DYNAMIC_ARRAY - initializer accepts preallocated ptr.
Completed support for plugin reference counting.
index_read(), index_read_idx(), index_read_last(), and
records_in_range() - instead of 'uint keylen' argument take
'ulonglong keypart_map', a bitmap showing which keyparts are
present in the key value.
Fallback method is provided for handlers that are lagging behind.
Removed a lot of compiler warnings
Removed not used variables, functions and labels
Initialize some variables that could be used unitialized (fatal bugs)
%ll -> %l
As presently PARTITIONS + FEDERATED just doesn't work i added error message
to inform user about that.
Should be enabled again after releted WL's completion.
Post-commit issues fixed
* Test results for other tests fixed due to added error #s
* Memory allocation/free issues found with running with valgrind
* Fix to mysql-test-run shell script to run federated_server test (installs
mysql.servers table properly)
Backport of functionality in private 5.2 tree.
Added new language to parser, new mysql.servers table and associated code
to be used by the federated storage engine to allow central connection information
per WL entry.
Added missing DBUG_RETURN statements (in mysqldump.c)
Added missing enums
Fixed a lot of wrong DBUG_PRINT() statements, some of which could cause crashes
Removed usage of %lld and %p in printf strings as these are not portable or produces different results on different systems.
Moved .progress files into the log directory
Moved 'cluster' database tables into the MySQL database, to not have 'cluster' beeing a reserved database name
Fixed bug where mysqld got a core dump when trying to use a table created by MySQL 3.23
Fixed some compiler warnings
Fixed small memory leak in libmysql
Note that this doesn't changeset doesn't include the new mysqldump.c code required to run some tests. This will be added when I merge 5.0 to 5.1
Problem is that some files moved to storage/*/ still are dependent
on sql/ code (usually use members of THD structure)
that can get different being compiled with another #define-s
Code added to recompile these for the embedded server
In practice this means that handlerton is now created by the server and is passed to the engine. Plugin startups can now also control how plugins are inited (and can optionally pass values). Bit more flexibility to those who want to write plugin interfaces to the database.
