Description:
MySQL configuration wizard does not set client character in the [client] section of my.ini file. This causes garbled character problem. 

How to repeat:
1. Install MySQL using installer.
2. Select character set sjis in configuration wizard
3. Open my.ini file (no default-character-set parameter)

Suggested fix:
Configuration wizard should set the same character set as server to the [client] section of my.ini file for the entry users. Users who used the installer shouldn't have to edit the my.ini file to set the client character set.
