- manual.texi will be replaced with a manual written in DocBook/XML. This ChangeSet removes all

  references to the .texi file and the build targets that depend on manual.texi as the input file.
- added COPYING as a regular file instead of creating it during the build. This ensures that it's part
  of the sources when pulling from BK (it used to be extracted from the manual)
- Removed a lot of cruft and unused/obsolete stuff from the Docs directory (e.g. Flags, Images)
- added a dummy mysql.info placeholder file (the info file is still used as the source to extract
  various text files during the build). It will be replaced with a "real" file during the Bootstrap
  process to create the official source distribution - the placeholder just satisfies build dependencies.

+
+     Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+     59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307, USA
+
+     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+Preamble
+========
+
+The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom
+to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
+intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.
+Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have
+the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
+service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone
+to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.  These
+restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis
+or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you
+have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
+code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
+
+We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.
+We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
+individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
+proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent
+must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                      GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a
+     notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+     under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program",
+     below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on
+     the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under
+     copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a
+     portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
+     translated into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is
+     included without limitation in the term "modification".)  Each
+     licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+     Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are
+     not covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act
+     of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the
+     Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on
+     the Program (independent of having been made by running the
+     Program).  Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+     source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+     conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+     copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+     notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
+     warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of
+     this License along with the Program.
+
+     You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
+     and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange
+     for a fee.
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+     of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+     distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+     above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+       a. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+       b. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that
+          in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program
+          or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge
+          to all third parties under the terms of this License.
+
+       c. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+          when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+          interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display
+          an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and
+          a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you
+          provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the
+          program under these conditions, and telling the user how to
+          view a copy of this License.  (Exception: if the Program
+          itself is interactive but does not normally print such an
+          announcement, your work based on the Program is not required
+          to print an announcement.)
+
+     These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+     identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
+     Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate
+     works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not
+     apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
+     works.  But when you distribute the same sections as part of a
+     whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of
+     the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions
+     for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each
+     and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+     Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or
+     contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the
+     intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of
+     derivative or collective works based on the Program.
+
+     In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
+     Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on
+     a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the
+     other work under the scope of this License.
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+     under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms
+     of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the
+     following:
+
+       a. Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+          source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
+          Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
+          software interchange; or,
+
+       b. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+          years, to give any third-party, for a charge no more than your
+          cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+          machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+          distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
+          medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+       c. Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+          to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+          allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+          received the program in object code or executable form with
+          such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+     The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+     making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete
+     source code means all the source code for all modules it contains,
+     plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts
+     used to control compilation and installation of the executable.
+     However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need
+     not include anything that is normally distributed (in either
+     source or binary form) with the major components (compiler,
+     kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable
+     runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
+
+     If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+     access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+     access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+     distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+     compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+     except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+     otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+     void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
+     License.  However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
+     from you under this License will not have their licenses
+     terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
+
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+     signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify
+     or distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions
+     are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.
+     Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work
+     based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this
+     License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
+     distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
+
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+     Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+     original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program
+     subject to these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any
+     further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights
+     granted herein.  You are not responsible for enforcing compliance
+     by third parties to this License.
+
+  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+     infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent
+     issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
+     agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this
+     License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
+     License.  If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
+     your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
+     obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the
+     Program at all.  For example, if a patent license would not permit
+     royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who
+     receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only
+     way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
+     entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+     If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
+     under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
+     intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply
+     in other circumstances.
+
+     It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+     patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of
+     any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting
+     the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+     implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+     generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+     through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+     system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is
+     willing to distribute software through any other system and a
+     licensee cannot impose that choice.
+
+     This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed
+     to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+     certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,
+     the original copyright holder who places the Program under this
+     License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation
+     excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only
+     in or among countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this
+     License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of
+     this License.
+
+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
+     versions of the General Public License from time to time.  Such
+     new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but
+     may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
+
+     Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+     Program specifies a version number of this License which applies
+     to it and "any later version", you have the option of following
+     the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later
+     version published by the Free Software Foundation.  If the Program
+     does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose
+     any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+ 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+     programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
+     author to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted
+     by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
+     Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.  Our decision
+     will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of
+     all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
+     and reuse of software generally.
+
+                                NO WARRANTY
+ 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
+     WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
+     LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+     HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT
+     WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
+     NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
+     FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE
+     QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
+     PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
+     SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+ 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
+     WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY
+     MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
+     LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
+     INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
+     INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
+     DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU
+     OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY
+     OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
+     ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+                      END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+=============================================
+
+If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
+terms.
+
+To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to
+attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
+the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
+"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+     ONE LINE TO GIVE THE PROGRAM'S NAME AND A BRIEF IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES.
+     Copyright (C) YYYY  NAME OF AUTHOR
+
+     This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+     it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+     the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
+     (at your option) any later version.
+
+     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+     GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+     along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
+     Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307, USA.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+     Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19YY NAME OF AUTHOR
+     Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+     under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
+appropriate parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the
+commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show
+c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
+program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
+necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+     Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+     `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
+into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library,
+you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
+applications with the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the
+GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.
