embedded library
some dirty places cleaned:

uint removed from mysql.h as Miguel suggested
empty_string renamed as my_empty_string to get rid of name's intersections
using embedded library

embedded library
I decided to get rid of #define mysql_some_function in mysql.h
It puzzles users and makes problems with dynamic libraries

Finally, there are only two functions left, that are covered with
the #define-s and it won't hurt performance at all

  SET character_set_connection=newcharset;

The above sequence failed in some cases.

Prepared statements in embedded server
Several changes in library code with two goals:
to make mysql_prepare_stmt working in embedded server
to get rid of #define mysql_interface_func mysql->methods->interface_func
in user's interface

10 now means "number of characters", not number of bytes.

CREATE TABLE t1(a NVARCHAR(10))
This is for compatibility with MSSQL, DB2, Informix and some other DBMSs.

Note, standard SQL doesn't have "NVARCHAR" syntax.
There are only these syntaxes in SQL2003:
 NATIONAL VARCHAR
 NCHAR VARCHAR
 NATIONAL CHARACTER VARYING 
 NCHAR VARYING

- Tests were added for all the above syntaxes.
