Description:
------------
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=8420&thanks=2&notify=7

Windows version of PHP 4.x.x
compiled with old libmysqlclient - 3.xx.xx. Moreover, it has hardcoded path to mysql charset dir.



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php 
$link = mysql_connect('localhost:3307', 'root', ''); 
$set = mysql_query('SET NAMES CP1251',$link);
$set = mysql_query('SET COLLATION_CONNECTION=CP1251_GENERAL_CI',$link);
$charset = mysql_client_encoding($link); 
printf ("current character set is %s\n", $charset); 
?>
echoes 
"File 'c:\mysql\share\charsets\?.conf' not found (Errcode: 22)
Character set '#51' is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the
'c:\mysql\share\charsets\Index' file
current character set is latin1"

There is an obvious bug in every win32 distribution of MySQL 4.1.x.

There is no sense to setting such options as:
character-sets-dir=c:/mysql/share/charsets 
default-character-set=cp1251

In any case as result - something like this:
File 'c:\mysql\share\charsets\?.conf' not found (Errcode: 22)
Character set '#51' is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the
'c:\mysql\share\charsets\Index' file

First I think that it MySQL bug, so

"There is an obvious bug in every win32 distribution of MySQL 4.1.x." is wrong

If Mysql breaks backwards compatibility with their own client libs that is hardly a PHP bug.
