The table opening process now works the following way:
- Create common TABLE_SHARE object
- Read the .frm file and unpack it into the TABLE_SHARE object
- Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
  object and open a handler to the table object

Other noteworthy changes:
- In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
- Better error message when table is not found
- Variable table_cache is now renamed 'table_open_cache'
- New variable 'table_definition_cache' that is the number of table defintions that will be cached
- strxnmov() calls are now fixed to avoid overflows
- strxnmov() will now always add one end \0 to result
- engine objects are now created with a TABLE_SHARE object instead of a TABLE object.
- After creating a field object one must call field->init(table) before using it

- For a busy system this change will give you:
 - Less memory usage for table object
 - Faster opening of tables (if it's has been in use or is in table definition cache)
 - Allow you to cache many table definitions objects
 - Faster drop of table

sql/sql_base.cc:
  Main implementation of table definition cache
  (The #ifdef's are there for the future when table definition cache will replace open table cache)
  Now table definitions are cached indepndent of open tables, which will speed up things when a table is in use at once from several places
  Views are not yet cached; For the moment we only cache if a table is a view or not.
  
  Faster implementation of find_temorary_table()
  Replace 'wait_for_refresh()' with the more general function 'wait_for_condition()'
  Drop table is slightly faster as we can use the table definition cache to know the type of the table

  Creation and destruct of TABLE_SHARE objects that are common for many TABLE objects

  - Create a TABLE object based on the information in the TABLE_SHARE
    object and open a handler to the table object
  
  open_table_def() is written in such a way that it should be trival to add parsing of the .frm files in new formats
sql/table.h:
  TABLE objects for the same database table now share a common TABLE_SHARE object
  In TABLE_SHARE the most common strings are now LEX_STRING's
