  "mysql-pro-gpl-cert" packages as well (thanks to Kent for the suggestion)

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)

"Access denied to database mysql" was actually not just misleading, but
also wrong.

Bug#7905.

  dict_load_table(): Refuse to open ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT tables
  of MySQL 5.0.3 and later.

  Added a test case for bug #9017.

  caused a conversion of a left join into an inner join
  that was not valid.

  Many changes to improve error handling, and fix problem of multiple packaging processes trampling each other (32 & 64bit at the same time)

Item_func_equal::not_null_tables() always return 0.

adapt the Windows build files accordingly.
