'mysql_client_test' and 'tests' directory

[BLR-03 Amit K. Saha- Sun Microsystems]

Hi!

According to 
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysqltest/en/test-framework-components.html, 
'mysql_client_test program is used for testing aspects of the MySQL 
client API that cannot be tested using mysqltest and its test language'

I would like to know what those aspects are.Thanks!

Also:

The other Perl scripts and C tests in the directory- 'tests' should be 
run independently- by hand? Is there no Makefile target? (Something like 
'make test' which runs the test-suite in 'mysql-test' and 'unittest'.

I tried to use 'make install' but all it seems to do is to build 
'mysql_client_test.c' and copies it to the 'bin' directory of the 
installation. I see no relevant target for the same in the top level 
Makefile as well.

Am I missing something here?

-Amit
