binary and primary collations in the future

SET NAMES <charset name> [COLLATE <collation name>]

into myvenu.com:/home/venu/work/sql/dev-4.1

  Remove the unused code (from previous commit)

Added new client tests (EXPLAIN + DECIMAL conv)

   distribution to fix a test failure in test "func_encrypt"

into mysql.com:/home/greg/bk/mysql-4.1

  Change mode to -rwxrwxr-x

into bar.mysql.r18.ru:/usr/home/bar/mysql-4.1

  is now synonim for
SELECT expr COLLATE <expr_charset>_bin

into the only one sortcmp() with additional
CHARSET_INFO *cmp_charset argument.

for binary collations

running slave, just give a warning. Same thing for STOP SLAVE.
This will make scripts writing easier for users.

into myvenu.com:/home/venu/work/sql/dev-4.1

into mysql.r18.ru:/usr/home/ram/work/mysql-4.1

like number-to-string-convertion-result, now 
takes current database character set, instead of
thread character set. This makes it easy to be
SQL99 conformant and 4.0 compatible.

Item->thd_charset() is renamed to Item->default_charset()
as old name doesn't describe its nature anymore.

  Produce an error when a field collation and charset are not compatible

SELECT latin1_expr COLLATE anpther_charset_collation

so that it has fetched the most from the master's binlog before the master
accidently dies. SCRUM task #756.

Added options reconnect/enable-reconnect/disable-reconnect/skip-reconnect to the 'mysql' command-line client.
Disabling can be safer when the server silently dies & restarts.
This is for SCRUM task #727.

  Typo fix.

  Portability fix. GetLongPathName is not supported by Windows95.

Added GeometryCollection type.

  Fix for coercibility of function

  Charset conversion function changes coercibility to IMPLICIT

  _charset cast changes coercibility to implicit
item_strfunc.cc:
  Collation cast change coercibility to EXPLICIT

   Coercibility, initial stage
item_func.h:
  Coercibility, initial stage
