The source of the problem is in Field_longlong::cmp. If 'this' is
an unsigned number, the method casts both the current value, and
the constant that we compare with to an unsigned number. As a
result if the constant we compare with is a negative number, it
wraps to some unsigned number, and the comparison is incorrect.
When the optimizer chooses the "range" access method, this problem
causes handler::read_range_next to reject the current key when the
upper bound key is a negative number because handler::compare_key
incorrectly considers the positive and negative keys to be equal.
The current patch does not correct the source of the problem in
Field_longlong::cmp because it is not easy to propagate sign
information about the constant at query execution time. Instead
the patch changes the range optimizer so that it never compares
unsiged fields with negative constants. As an added benefit,
queries that do such comparisons will execute faster because
the range optimizer replaces conditions like:
(a) (unsigned_int [< | <=] negative_constant) == FALSE
(b) (unsigned_int [> | >=] negative_constant) == TRUE
with the corresponding constants.
In some cases this may even result in constant time execution.
Remove changes made by bug fix#8147. They strips list of insert_table_list to
only insert table, which results in error reported in bug #9728.
Added flag to Item to resolve ambigous fields reported in bug #8147.
Added a test case for bug #11295.
item_buff.cc:
Fixed bug #11295.
This a correction for the patch of bug #11088 that takes into
account a possible NULL values of the BLOB column.
More compact and safe handling of path names.
Support for running in Windows source tree.
Use libtool wrapper, instead of messing with
library path names, and objects in .libs dir.

Utility function that search aand check path names

Added a test case for bug #11385.
field.h:
Fixed bug #11385.
The bug was due to not defined method decimals for the class
Field_datetime.
INSERT ... SELECT with UNION" (reviewed version).
Altough bug manifest itself only starting from 5.0 it is better to
apply fix to 4.1 to keep some assumptions true and make code more
future-proof.
