bk_client is the BitKeeper client. It was originally added by vivo for
live building of MySQL from the upstream BitKeeper repositories.

The MySQL herd (basically me, since vivo left, and chtekk is away until
2008) don't support doing that in the MySQL eclass anymore, and
additionally, anybody using BitKeeper should be aware of the original
license debates (http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=103384262016750&w=2).

As I do development on Git and other definetly VCS things, I won't touch
BK at all. If somebody else wants to, they can have it, but otherwise
it's going to be punted from the tree in the usual 30 days (October
20th).
