Changes to a test with a update to a table with 1001 columns, the last being a blob. 
On HP, the test worked properly, but on other OSs, there's a problem with using the 
blob column in an update where clause. The field method val_string(String *, char *) 
should work, but doesn't seem to deal with blobd, and for some reason, cannot get
the correct value of the blob column from the byte pointer in update_row, "*old_data"
which is a byte pointer to the row in mysql format, that will be replaced with 
"*new_data" (which conveniently has a field pointer to use to get values from).

Will document this.

This is a modifiction of my previous patch after receiving feedback. This is a better way to fix the problem.  With this patch, data directory and index directory will use only forward slashes (/) when on Windows.

mysqldump.c:
  Removed fixPaths routine.  Was improper fix for bug #6660
sql_show.cc:
  Changed append_directory to convert backslashes to foward slashes when on Windows.

    define _XOPEN_SOURCE=500 for solaris
include/my_sys.h
    remove a cast

-This is mostly fixes for correct behaviour when using query cache + transactions + the thread that
fetches commit count from NDB at regular intervals. The major fix is to add a
list in thd_ndb, that keeps a list of NDB_SHARE's that were modified by
transaction and then "clearing" them in ndbcluster_commit.

Applied some changes to the mysql.server init script that are already shipped as an additional patch
in the 4.1.10a RPMs for SLES9/RHEL3:

- small improvement: use LSB functions to display startup success and failure, if available.
  Fall back to more primitive builtin functions otherwise.
- joined two pieces of code performing the same functionality into one "wait_for_pid" function
- added a "reload" function (LSB requirement)
