 2648 Chuck Bell	2008-07-09
      BUG#35230 Backup: no backupdir 
      
      This patch adds the dynamic variable --backupdir which specifies the path
      where the image files are placed (backup) or accessed (restore) if a path
      is not specified in the command.
modified:
  mysql-test/r/backup_progress.result
  mysql-test/t/backup_progress.test
  sql/backup/backup_kernel.h
  sql/backup/kernel.cc
  sql/backup/stream.cc
  sql/backup/stream.h
  sql/mysqld.cc
  sql/set_var.cc
  sql/set_var.h
  sql/share/errmsg.txt
  sql/sql_parse.cc

per-file messages:
  mysql-test/r/backup_progress.result
    New result file.
  mysql-test/t/backup_progress.test
    Added a mask for backup location because this path will vary from 
    machine to machine.
  sql/backup/backup_kernel.h
    Changed methods to include original location from lex structure instead of
    traversing the THD object.
  sql/backup/kernel.cc
    Added code to process the backupdir IFF there is no path specified 
    in the command.
  sql/backup/stream.cc
    Moved path processing to Stream::Stream. Constructors now take backupdir plus
    original filename specified on command.
  sql/backup/stream.h
    Constructors now take backupdir plus original filename specified on command.
  sql/mysqld.cc
    Added code to support backupdir.
  sql/set_var.cc
    Added all of the methods needed to check, update, and set a default 
    for the backupdir variable.
  sql/set_var.h
    Added extern for backupdir variable named sys_var_backupdir.
  sql/share/errmsg.txt
    Added new error message for invalid backupdir paths.
  sql/sql_parse.cc
    Added processing of system variable for backupdir to remove dependency in
    backup code.
