- comment for AC_DEFINE(HAVE_COMPRESS) fixed
- build convenience library from zlib: we need to compile it into both
  libmysqlclient.a and libmysqlclient.so
- --with-zlib-dir=bundled configure option

required autotools macro written and deployed in all apropriate Makefile.ams.
Use cases checked:
- linux, standard location of zlib, no ndb
- linux, standard locatoin of zlib, with ndb
- linux, non-standard location of zlib, no ndb
- hpux11, use of bundled zlib, no ndb 
The only non-checked case is non-standard location of zlib (or use of bundled
zlib) + ndb. I wasn't able to check it as ndb/ just won't compile on beasts 
like AIX52 or HPUX11, where such a check is possible. It didn't compile 
there before as these systems dont't have installed zlib, so nothing got broken ;)

Use of acconfig.h is deprecated in modern autotools (a cleaner patch).

client code and replication slave code, as far as LOAD DATA INFILE and
other queries' execution is concerned. Duplication of code leads to
replication bugs, because the replication duplicate lags much behind.
Fix for 2 Valgrind errors on slave replicating LOAD DATA INFILE

The problem was that (for any storage engine), the created temporary table was not removed if CREATE SELECT failed (because
of a constraint violation for example). This was not consistent with the manual and with CREATE SELECT (no TEMPORARY).

BUG#4506 "mysqlbinlog --position --read-from-remote-server has wrong "# at" lines",
BUG#4553 "Multi-table DROP TABLE replicates improperly for nonexistent table" with a test file.
It was not possible to add a test for BUG#4506 as in the test suite we must use --short-form
which does not display the "# at" lines.
