branches/zip: Allow a dynamically loaded InnoDB storage engine plugin
to replace a built-in instance of InnoDB in mysqld. This is work in progress, with several limitations: * Other plugins defined in the builtin InnoDB are not disabled. However, InnoDB in MySQL 5.1 only defines the storage engine plugin, no INFORMATION_SCHEMA plugins. * The global C symbols in ha_innodb.so except innodb_hton_ptr and builtin_innobase_plugin will have to be redefined, e.g., by objcopy. * The storage engine cannot be called "InnoDB" to avoid a conflict with the builtin name. Here we call it InnoDBzip. innobase_hton_name[]: Rename to "InnoDBzip" when building a dynamic plugin. innodb_plugin_init(): New function for the dynamic plugin, to copy and redirect configuration parameters from the builtin InnoDB. innodb_dynamic: New configuration parameter. This has to be added to the builtin InnoDB in MySQL 5.1. Also, innodb_hton_ptr must be made global there. innobase_init(): Interpret the parameter innodb_dynamic. Makefile.am: Redefine class ha_innobase to ha_innodb by a preprocessor define. Apparently, C++ classes cannot be easily renamed by objcopy.
