MySql 4.1 Solaris 8.2/x86 compile anomoly (includes pos. soln.)

Description:
------------
Mysql fails to install due to compile error on line 655. Unable to find
constant VIS_WHITE. This is due to not having the correct vis.h.

ie. HAVE_VIS_H should be false and this library should not be included
line 49.
(although there is a different vis.h library installed - from the BSD ver).

Replacing strvis & unstrvis with strcpy allows compile and install
however it may have
implications...

How-To-Repeat:
--------------
Install on a protected Solaris 8.2/x86 machine using 3.2 where system
libraries cannot be installed in standard positions.

Fix:
----
wrap HAVE_VIS_H tests around line 655 and 617. If not true just do
strcpy. It at then allows it to compile and run - though it may cause
trouble for those people without vis.h later on.

Thank you for your bug report.

The above fix would not work for those that have a proper library,
which is why our production dept. will have to improve upon the
testing of the existence of this library.
