Summary: Multithreading support for mysql module

Initial Comment:
The attached patch adds multithreading functionality based on the posix threads library to the mysql module. We're using this module (in an older version) with 0.9.5 to better support database failover scenarios. As the porting to current cvs demanded heavy adaptions, this code is rather untested now. This is probably not the right think to use in a production environment for now.. Any suggestions and bug reports are welcome!

This patch adds two new files for the threading functions to the mysql module and should cleanly apply to cvs head. It starts a master and a worker thread. 
If the worker hang due problems with the database, the master tries to restart the worker after a configurable timeout value. 
Compile with "EXTRA_DEBUG" to activate more locking checks and debugging output. You need a thread-safe mysql library to use this patch, otherwise the module will not start.

In the patch here available are still some bugs present, with some glibc
versions it don't work at all.

I will not update this patch anymore as the usage of threads is apparently
a blocker for inclusion into the trunk.

Cheers,

Henning

I updated the patch and fixed some errors. I add the "fetch_result"
function 
that was missing. Now it is also possible to disable all the
multithreading stuff
with an simple #define to use the normal behaviour.
File Added: mysql-mt.patch
