No, it's not pushed.
Looking at https://launchpad.net/~scut-tang/mysql-server/mysql-6.0-infoschema
I see "Recent revisions: This branch has not been pushed to yet."
That is, you've created a branch on launchpad, but haven't pushed the
source code there yet.

You can start from readonly tables, but eventually we need to support
updates too. Certain P_S tables are writable.

A structure that "describes" a table. Currently a pair of structures
ST_SCHEMA_TABLE and ST_FIELD_INFO describe the table. You implementation
will have something similar.

Absolutely. That's how it should be done.

Something similar. struct ST_INDEX_INFO perhaps ?

Arjen already replied to that.

Yes, it will.
What engines have what variables ?
