+      do_send_ok       Whether to call send_ok() on success.
+
+  DESCRIPTION
+    This is a veery long function and is everything but the kitchen sink :)
+    It is used to alter a table and not only by ALTER TABLE but also
+    CREATE|DROP INDEX are mapped on this function.
+
+    When the ALTER TABLE statement just does a RENAME or ENABLE|DISABLE KEYS,
+    or both, then this function short cuts its operation by renaming
+    the table and/or enabling/disabling the keys. In this case, the FRM is
+    not changed, directly by mysql_alter_table. However, if there is a
+    RENAME + change of a field, or an index, the short cut is not used.
+    See how `fields` is used to generate the new FRM regarding the structure
+    of the fields. The same is done for the indices of the table.
+
+    Important is the fact, that this function tries to do as little work as
+    possible, by finding out whether a intermediate table is needed to copy
+    data into and when finishing the altering to use it as the original table.
+    For this reason the function compare_tables() is called, which decides
+    based on all kind of data how similar are the new and the original
+    tables. 
+
+  RETURN VALUES
+    FALSE  OK
+    TRUE   Error
