wait_for_pid function is fixed to wait for pid removal in "stop".
recomitted with post-review fix  


support-files/mysql.server.sh:
  wait_for_pid function corrected to work properly with start/stop

platforms": yet another issue with floating pointer comparisons.
The fix uses the workaround with volatiles.


sql/item_cmpfunc.cc:
  A fix for the failing mysql_client_test on some Intel platforms
  when compiled with optimization.
  We don't use -ffloat-store compileation as it may slow all
  floating point operations.

Fix 'Bootstrap' to bypass a problem with "bk changes" by changing the directory before calling the command.


Build-tools/Bootstrap:
  Bypass a BK problem with "bk changes": It stopped delivering changeset comments when
  1) it encountered a single, unbroken line with about 1k characters  AND
  2) it was applied not to the current directory but to a named BK root directory.
  
  As 1) cannot be changed post-factum (and might happen again),
  the "bk changes" command is now preceded by a "cd $REPO".
  
  Do some renaming of variables used around the "bk changes" call to improve documentation.

support-files/mysql.server.sh:
  Replace a non-portable "for" loop (bash style, fails on BSD) by an equivalent "while" loop.
  Note that the "stop" method is still wrong, as it does not wait for file removal.

Make test_if_skip_sort_order() rebuild tab->ref if it decides to use an index
different from the index join optimizer has choosen.

sql/sql_select.cc:
  A fix (bug #9401: type_timestamp segfaults mysqld).
  1. create_tmp_field_from_field() is modified to take 'Item_ref *item' and 'char *name'
  instead of 'bool modify_item' and 'Item *item'.
  2. For Item_sum_min/max we should never modify item, so NULL is 
  passed as item to the create_tmp_field_from_field().

This is needed even in 4.0, as 'Do-compile-all' must use this new approach for
all "max" builds in 4.0, 4.1, and up.
