When using SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE, all
            temporary tables are ISAM instead of HEAP to allow big
            dumps.
          
Changed date functions to be string functions. This fixed some ``funny'' side effects when sorting on dates.
            Extended ALTER TABLE for SQL-92
            compliance.
          
Some minor compatibility changes.
            Added --port and --socket
            options to all utility programs and
            mysqld.
          
            Fixed MIT-pthreads readdir_r(). Now
            mysqladmin create database and
            mysqladmin drop database should work.
          
            Changed MIT-pthreads to use our
            tempnam(). This should fix the ``sort
            aborted'' bug.
          
            Added sync of records count in
            sql_update. This fixed slow updates on
            first connection. (Thanks to Vaclav Bittner for the test.)
