message:
  LT_INIT and LT_PREREQ was added in libtool 2.2 2008, a bit too
  recent, switched back to the older AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
------------------------------------------------------------

Added remove_files_wildcard that allows to remove multiple files at once.
This is a port of original patch to Windows.

write()/read()

Sometimes stop/restart master or stop/restart salve can cause
network error, which can cause the 'invalid file descriptor
-1 in syscall write()/read()' warnings. All involved test
cases except rpl_slave_load_remove_tmpfile belong to the
kind of network error. So they are expected.
The 'rpl_slave_load_remove_tmpfile' belongs to file error,
but it is testing the file error as following code:
DBUG_EXECUTE_IF("remove_slave_load_file_before_write",
my_close(fd,MYF(0)); fd= -1; my_delete(fname, MYF(0)););
So it's expected too.

To fix the problem, add the valgrind warnings to the global
suppression list to suppress it.


mysql-test/include/mtr_warnings.sql:
  Added code to suppress valgrind warnings: invalid file
  descriptor -1 in syscall write()/read().

path names than 99 characters, using the USTAR format of the
resulting source TAR.

To be able to specify the use of USTAR when creating the source
TAR, we needed both to update the GNU autotools version requirements
slightly, and update the initiation of the tools to use more
modern constructs.

  fulltext search and row op.

The search for fulltext indexes is searching for some special 
predicate layouts. While doing so it's not checking for the number
of columns of the expressions it tries to calculate.
And since row expressions can't return a single scalar value there
was a crash.
Fixed by checking if the expressions are scalar (in addition to 
being constant) before calling Item::val_xxx() methods.

--default-character-set and --character-set-server such
that only the first will give a deprecation warning.
Apart from that, the two options should do the same.

The test case rpl_binlog_corruption fails on windows because when
adding a line to the binary log index file it gets terminated
with a CR+LF (which btw, is the normal case in windows, but not on
Unixes - LF). This causes mismatch between the relay log names,
causing mysqld to report that it cannot find the log file.

We fix this by creating the instrumented index file through
mysql, ie, using SELECT ... INTO DUMPFILE ..., as opposed on
relying on ultimatly OS commands like: -- echo "..." >
index. These changes go into the file and make the procedure
platform independent:

  include/setup_fake_relay_log.inc

Side note: when using SELECT ... INTO DUMPFILE ..., one needs to
check if mysqld is running with secure_file_priv. If it is, we do
it in two steps: 1. create the file on the allowed location;
2. move it to the datadir. If it is not, then we just create the
file directly on the datadir (so previous step 2. is not needed).
