debugging purposes.

This is a modifiction of my previous patch after receiving feedback. This is a better way to fix the problem.  With this patch, data directory and index directory will use only forward slashes (/) when on Windows.

mysqldump.c:
  Removed fixPaths routine.  Was improper fix for bug #6660
sql_show.cc:
  Changed append_directory to convert backslashes to foward slashes when on Windows.

  A fix (bug #8799: Killed filesorts can fail inited==RND assertion in ha_rnd_end).              
  Should call ha_rnd_end() only if ha_rnd_init() was called.

Applied some changes to the mysql.server init script that are already shipped as an additional patch
in the 4.1.10a RPMs for SLES9/RHEL3:

- small improvement: use LSB functions to display startup success and failure, if available.
  Fall back to more primitive builtin functions otherwise.
- joined two pieces of code performing the same functionality into one "wait_for_pid" function
- added a "reload" function (LSB requirement)

This really should not happen on Windows and part of the problem not fixed here is why show create table includes data directory when being run on Windows.  However, this patch fixes the bug in mysqldump.c
