This is done in the attached patch. frmStatus.xrc should be removed, all
the widgets are created in frmStatus.cpp.

Please, do not commit, it needs more testing and, I think, more work.
And debug too: in standalone mode, it crashes at exit.

Works too.

I'm wondering if I should add this and a menubar. My idea is to work
with panes and make it possible to add many panes in a same window. Each
pane will handle one type of report : activity, locks, transactions,
logfile.

Dave, this one is from you. Where do you want to put the configuration
of the server status. In the options dialog already available? I add a
notebookpage with all server status parameters?

For these two, a contextual menu seems a good choice. Other ideas?

If you have comments, ideas, requests, please speak aloud :)
