Some work has already been done on this in the 4.0 tree. From the manual,
instructions on how to access the devel tree:
Download BitKeeper from http://www.bitmover.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi. You
will need Bitkeeper 2.0 or newer to access our repository. Follow the
instructions to install it. After BitKeeper is installed, use this command
if you want to clone the MySQL 3.23 branch:
shell> bk clone bk://work.mysql.com:7000 mysql
To clone the 4.0 branch, use this command instead:
shell> bk clone bk://work.mysql.com:7001 mysql-4.0
The initial download of the source tree may take a while, depending on the
speed of your connection; be patient. You will need GNU autoconf, automake,
libtool, and m4 to run the next set of commands. If you get some strange
error during this stage, check that you really have libtool installed!
shell> cd mysql
shell> bk -r edit
shell> aclocal; autoheader; autoconf; automake;
shell> ./configure # Add your favorite options here
shell> make
