- In join buffering code, call join_tab_execution_startup() (#1) before we call join_tab_scan->open() (#2).
  This is important with SJ-Materialization because #1 fills the materialized table, while
  #2 will actually try to read the first row. Attempt to read the first row before we have
  populated the materialized table would cause zero rows to be returned when actually there were matches.

Huge static libraries like libmysqld might not build if /MACHINE flag is missing 
for librarian with the correct processor architecture.

Fix is to add /MACHINE flag  for x64 builds

When mariadb 5.3 is compiler with VS2010, several tests would enter infinite loop in 
sel_arg_range_seq_next(). The reason is compiler backend bug. This bug is not
present in either VS2008  or VS2010 SP1 RC.

Workaround is to compile this function without most aggresive optimization flag
 (-Og )  using #pragma optimize ("g", {on|off}) for this version of MSVC compiler.

with the test case added by this patch.
The bug cannot be reproduced with the same test case for the main
5.3 tree because the backported fix for bug 59696 masks the 
problem that causes the crash in the mentioned test case. It's not
clear weather this fix masks this problem in all possible cases. 

Anyway the patch for bug 698882 introduced some inconsistent data
structures that could contain indirect references to deleted object.
It happened when two Item_equal objects were merged and the Item_field
list of the second object was joined to such list of the first object.
This operation required adjustment of the backward pointers in 
Item fields from the joined list. However the adjustment was missing 
and this caused crashes in the tree for mwl#128.

Now the backward pointers are set only when Item_equal items are
completely built and are not changed anymore.
 

When this flag is 'off' the size of the used join buffer 
is taken directly from the system variable 'join_buffer_size'.
When this flag is 'on' then the size of the buffer depends
on the estimated number of rows in the partial join whose
records are to be stored in the buffer.
By default this flag is set 'on'.

The patch fixed the following optimizer defect: when performing
substitution for best equal fields into where conditions to be
able to do their evaluations as soon as possible the optimizer 
skipped conditions over views. That could lead to suboptimal 
execution of queries that used views.  
Slightly changed the test case to demonstrate the performance
improvements if this fix.

This bug could manifest itself when hash join over a varchar column
with NULL values in some rows was used. It happened because the
function key_buf_cmp erroneously returned FALSE when one of the joined
key fields was null while the second was not.
Also fixed two other bugs in the functions key_hashnr and key_buf_cmp 
that could possibly lead to wrong results for some queries that
used hash join over several columns with nulls.
Also reverted the latest addition of the test case for bug #45092. It
had been already backported earlier.

This was another bug in the patch for bug 698882. The new
code from this patch did not ensured that substitutions
of fields for best equal fields were performed on all
AND-OR levels. As a result substitutions for best fields
in some predicates that had been used by the range optimizer
were not actually performed while range plans could employ
these substitutions. This could lead to inconsistent data
structures and ultimately to a crash.

The bug was in the code of the patch fixing bug 698882.
With improper casting the method store_key_field::change_source_field
was called for the elements of the array TABLE_REF::key_copy that
were either of a different type or not allocated at all. This caused
crashes in some queries.
