included by both mysql-server/Makefile and mysql-client/Makefile.
* Remove some unnecessary patches from mysql-client.
* Remove build dependency on autoconf as we don't really need to use it.
* Improve detection of native readline library.
* Provide INSTALL/DEINSTALL scripts to perform initial database setup and
to remind the package administrator to remove unnecessary directories upon
package removal.
* Use complete path to chown in various installed scripts. Fixes pkg/12725.
* Install server manpages with the server package. Fixes pkg/12724.
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).

-lpthread found in library search path, use explicit path to library.
Noticed by hubertf.
When OPSYS == NetBSD, force use of included mit-pthreads.
Bumb version to "nb1".
Enable use of tcp_wrappers in the server.
BDB and Innobase table types are not configured in, so no transaction
support yet.
The 3.23 release has several major features that are not present
in previous versions. We have added new table types: MyISAM, a new
ISAM library which is tuned for SQL and supports large files; BDB,
which uses the Berkeley DB library from Sleepycat Software to
implement transaction-safe tables; INNOBASE, which uses the Innobase
database backend to implement transaction-safe tables. The 3.23
release also includes support for database replication between a
master and many slaves, full-text indexing, and much more.
For a detailed list of changes see appendix E of the online
documentation at http://www.mysql.com/.
The replication code and BerkeleyDB code is still not as tested
and as the rest of the code, so we will probably need to do a couple
of future releases of 3.23 with small fixes for this part of the
code. As long as you don't use these features, you should be quite
safe with MySQL 3.23!
Note that the above doesn't mean that replication or Berkeley DB
doesn't work; We have done a lot of testing of all code, including
replication and BDB without finding any problems. It only means
that not as many users uses this code as the rest of the code and
because of this we are not yet 100 % confident in this code.
This includes a security fix for the remote password checking protocol.
Other wise it's just the regular bunch of bugfixes. See appendix D of
the manual.
There are a bunch of bug fixes to the server. For a complete list see
the documentation.
Also, get rid of USE_GMAKE. The normal make works just fine.
Delete a whole bunch of patches that have been integrated into the
distribution.
Update the mit-pthreads patches to use _C_LABEL where appropriate so that
mit-pthreads works on ELF and a.out for the affected platforms.
