Description:
We claim unicode support but our current support is largely pointless since you can't
set character_set_client to any UCA based character set.  This means that you can't 
use ucs2 for things like wanting a case-insensitive, accent-sensitive collation.  This
is a pretty common request.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
Change the client-server protocol so that UCA character sets can be used.
