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.

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

mysqldump.c:
  Added fixPaths function to convert \ to / in data directory and index directory entries only on Windows

 - Moved static variables defined inside of function to file scope to avoid this linking problem on FC3

correct top_level_item for XOR

  Added a test case for bug #9017.
item_cmpfunc.h:
  A wrong not_null_tables method for Item_cond_xor
  caused a conversion of a left join into an inner join
  that was not valid.

adapt the Windows build files accordingly.

  Correction after manual merge.

  Better ibbackup message
  Add a message explaining why we do a 'crash recovery' after an ibbackup restore; suggested by Tim Smith

The reported problems were due to two completely unrelated omissions.
1) The file sort procedure didn't correctly create the sort key in
   make_sortkey when the sortkey was an unsigned integer.
2) The name resolution procedure for column references inside a HAVING
   clause did not propagate the unsigned_flag of the resolved references.
This patch corrects both problems.
