Added more parsing in do_block()
      Limitation: left operand must be variable
      Also changed var_set_int from 57036 to var_check_int
      Added tests to mysqltest.test
      Some tests can now be simplified but will take this later
      Updated after comments, now white space around operator not needed

There were actually more problems in this area:
  Slaves (if any) were unconditionally restarted, this appears unnecessary.
  Sort criteria were suboptimal, included the test name.
Added logic to "reserve" a sequence of tests with same config for one thread
Got rid of sort_criteria hash, put it into the test case itself
Adds little sanity check that expected worker picks up test
Fixed some tests that may fail if starting on running server
Some of these fail only if *same* test is repeated.
Finally, special sorting of tests that do --force-restart

Option was incorrectly coded without an argument
Added the missing =s

  Simplified cases where a select was used to compare variable against ''

Simplified cases where a select was used to compare variable against ''

Limited to actual bug fix, fixing a while condition
Again confirmed on Linux PPC and on AIX 5.3

Adding option --report-times
Can't collect times if test run is aborted

Added some more info in a number of fail cases
(re-commit for administrative reasons)

main.mysqltest skipped on Windows because a perl intentionally does exit(1)
Use exit(2), as exit(1) on Windows is indistinguishable from failing to
execute perl.

Added --clean-vardir to empty vardir if no failures
Also added variable $MTR_CLEAN_VARDIR

Some platforms don't work with 4 * STACK_MIN_SIZE.
Thus, reverting back to 8 * STACK_MIN_SIZE and waiting for another fix.

to fix an sp-error.test failure on Sun Sparc system.

Added some more details to warning messages, this should be enough.

for --init-rpl-role.

Problem: There are two variables involved in this issue,
rpl_status and rpl_role_type. The former is an array containing
the description of the possible values for the latter.

rpl_status is declared as an enumeration and is stored in a 4
bytes integer. On the other hand, my_getopt, reads enum values
into a ulong:

  *(ulong*)value= arg;

This is overwriting the memory used for rpl_role_type, 
corrupting the first entry in the array.

Fix: We fix this by re-declaring rpl_status as a ulong, so that it
has space to accommodate the value "parsed" in my_getopt .
