	Well, the mysql_install_db run just fines, but some things like the
mysql user/group that are handled by the "make install" are missing. And if
I run this one, it considers that I already have a db, so it tells me :

In order to preserve your existing data, you should:
        - dump all your databases
        - kill mysql if it is running
        - delete the /var/db/mysql directory
        - run 'make install'
	...

	My guess is that I can still edit the Makefile to remove the check
of existing dbs... But it isn't very clean and I'd like to understand why
it acts so...
