D.7.7 Changes in release 3.20.11

• When using SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE, all temporary tables are ISAM instead of HEAP to allow big dumps.
• Changed date functions to be string functions. This fixed some ``funny'' side effects when sorting on dates.
• Extended ALTER TABLE for SQL-92 compliance.
• Some minor compatibility changes.
• Added --port and --socket options to all utility programs and mysqld.
• Fixed MIT-pthreads readdir_r(). Now mysqladmin create database and mysqladmin drop database should work.
• Changed MIT-pthreads to use our tempnam(). This should fix the ``sort aborted'' bug.
• Added sync of records count in sql_update. This fixed slow updates on first connection. (Thanks to Vaclav Bittner for the test.)
