running on windows. Apparently Cygwin tries to emulate UNIX Socket and thus
fails to create one.

"eval use" it. Instead trap the error that occurs when creating the socket
on platforms that does not support it. 

Straigthen code to be more explicit

Also make it possible to specify a path to the suite, for example:
./mtr --suite=/some/path/to/suitedir 

since it's used by the check

Don't allow unix socket path to be truncated 

Fix warnings

the server dissapears
Check return code of 'mysql_ping'
Add "shutdown", call 'mysql_shutdown' on the current connection 

 - Code in DbugParse was reading from beyond end of the control string

after expected crash server restart. The test timeout process was killed
not restarted.

No more string matching

Don't log check_warnings to binlog

regardless of it's current value

Added waiting start/stop slave via primitives.

Fix for binlog_index test case: hide difference for paths from warning messages between Windows and Unix
