Replaced Unix calls with mysql-test-run's built-in functions / SQL manipulation where possible.
Replaced error codes with error names as well.
Disabled two tests on Windows due to more complex Unix command usage

mysqldump included character_set_client magic
that is unknown before 4.1 even when asked for
an appropriate compatibility mode.
In compatibility (3.23, 4.0) mode, we do not
output charset statements (not even in a
"comment conditional"), nor do we do magic on
the server, even if the server is sufficient
new (4.1+). Table-names will be output converted
to the charset requested by mysqldump; if such
a conversion is not possible (Ivrit -> Latin),
mysqldump will fail.

The problem is that tables can enter open table cache for a thread without
being properly cleaned up. This can happen if make_join_statistics() fails
to read a const table because of e.g. a deadlock. It does set a member of
TABLE structure to a value it allocates, but doesn't clean-up this setting
on error nor does it set the rest of the members in JOIN to allow for
automatic cleanup.
As a result when such an error occurs and the next statement depends re-uses
the table from the open tables cache it will get it with this
TABLE::reginfo.join_tab pointing to a memory area that's freed.
Fixed by making sure make_join_statistics() cleans up TABLE::reginfo.join_tab
on error.
In case of ROW item each compared pair does not
check if argumet collations can be aggregated and
thus appropiriate item conversion does not happen.
The fix is to add the check and convertion for ROW
pairs.
returns short string value.
Multibyte character sets were not taken into account when
calculating max_length in Item_param::convert_str_value(). As a
result, string parameters of a prepared statement could be
truncated later when calculating string length in characters by
dividing length in bytes by the charset's mbmaxlen value (e.g. in
Field_varstring::store()).
Fixed by taking charset's mbmaxlen into account when calculating
max_length in Item_param::convert_str_value().
Typo existed in help-text for command "charset" in mysql
client, making the parameter-name different for long and
short forms of the command for no good reason.
Fixed.
Backport from 6.0
Changed error message to show that it is partitioning
that does not support foreign keys yet.
Changed spelling from British english to American english.
Options got normalised to long rather than short options
since we gave primary name and alias in wrong order.
Consequently querying for the option using the short
options (the correct primary name) didn't work, rendering
the options in question inaccessible.
We restore the right order of the universe, or at least
the alii for --debug and --verbose.
