mysql-test-run.pl:

  Let --start-and-exit actually start a server
  Added that test case names can be specified on the comman line
  Added embedded server support
  Added environment variables UMASK, UMASK_DIR
  Added missing MASTER_MYSOCK1, MASTER_MYPORT1, USE_RUNNING_SERVER
  Added missing CHARSETSDIR, MYSQL_FIX_SYSTEM_TABLES, MYSQL_CLIENT_TEST
  Pass on return value from sleep_until_file_created(), to fail test
  Fail test if early termination of mysqld servers
  Create intial databases for the second master, and two additional slaves
mtr_process.pl:
  Find out if port is still in use, using simple TCP connect
  Use non blocking waitpid() to catch terminations early
  Make a special case spawning the 'mysqltest' application
  Redo the fork() if it returns EAGAIN
  Make sure to record if master or slave terminated
  Improved debugging output
  Improved code that remove PID files to avoid race
  Abort if we can't stop all mysqld servers using our ports
  Many improvements in killing mysqld servers
  Let sleep_until_file_created() catch if server died early
mtr_report.pl:
  Added option to disable test cases using <testcase>.disabled file
  If --timer, only try to open file with time data if it exists
mtr_io.pl:
  Remove starting/ending space reading server options from file
