Bug #32221 bug25714, mytest, mysql_client_test complaints and crashes

Description:
I tried to find out what is mytest.exe in the distributions.

mytest --help crashed.

libmysql.dll!mysql_fetch_field(st_mysql_res * result=0x0000000000000000)
myTest.exe!main(int argc=0x00000002, char * * argv=0x000000000038ed40)
myTest.exe!__tmainCRTStartup()
myTest.exe!mainCRTStartup()
kernel32.dll!BaseProcessStart()

else
{
    printf("Got error %s when retreiving processlist\n",mysql_error(myData));
}
//....
res = mysql_list_tables( myData, "%" ) ; l = 1 ;
  for ( x = 0 ; fd = mysql_fetch_field( res ) ; x++ )

res was zero.

How to repeat:
start a mysql server on port 3306.

mytest.exe --help
mytest.exe a
mytest.exe b

Suggested fix:
fix the typo s/retreiving/retrieving/
fix the crash. add some help text, or 'about' .. ? or don't package this app?

why is bug25714.exe included in the distros?  What does it do?

E:\mysql-6.0.3-alpha-win32\bin>bug25714.exe --help

5.1.22 and 6.0.3:  mysqlslap.exe crashes apon execution with no parameters.

imho, this is embarrassing.  what are all these low quality programs going in our distributions for?? either they must be written properly or removed...

mysql_client_test crashes too.

E:\mysql-6.0.3-alpha-win32\bin>mysql_client_test.exe -uroot

  Fix for bug #32221: bug25714, mytest, mysql_client_test complaints and
  crashes.
  
  MySQL distributions contain a number of programs that are used only by
  the MySQL test suite internally, i.e. they are not indended to be
  invoked directly by a user. As a result, such programs are not
  documented, do not have any built-in help or proper error reporting,
  which may confuse users.
  
  This patch fixes the problem with the following changes:
  - mytest, libmysqltest and all references to them were removed from the
  distribution since they are not used anymore
  - bug25714 now displays an error message when run with incorrect
  arguments or with the --help option
  - mysql_client_test now does not call abort() in case of errors,
  instead it does a clean exit() with a proper error status.
