MySQL 5

[Justin Bastedo]

Well I did modify the Makefile it seemed to compile fine, i'm in the
process of moving over a large db from my current server and am about
to test and move a large amount of data into an archive table so i'll
be sure to let everyone know how it goes here.

just for your reference, not sure if you want to add them but here is
a diff of the changes i made to my make file:

# diff Makefile Makefile.orig
68,71d67
< .if defined(WITH_ARCHIVE_ENGINE)
< CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--with-archive-storage-engine
< .endif
<
150d145
<       @${ECHO} "      WITH_ARCHIVE_ENGINE=yes Enable Archive Table
Engine Support."

I think this will be a more common need amoung mysql users moving into
mysql 5. I'm not quite sure but I think this engine will also work in
mysql 4.1 so it might be nice to have that there, especially until the
5 port comes off of beta. I may test this in 4.1 just to compare
speeds and stability.
