Good suggestion. Personally I feel that it's time to move on and remove
stuff like bash1 and even jdk1.1.8 from the ports tree, but then I'm not a
committer, nor the maintainer. If you're happy to do the work I will not
complain. (Well, maybe grumble a little). :-)
Please don't start an argument on wheter 1.1.8 should be removed. I'm aware
of why it still exists.

All-right with me. Feel free to commit as mysql-jdbc-mm2 either:
1) my bin-installing port, or
2) Dave's source-compiling port, or
3) mine first, then upgrade to Dave's as soon as he feels
it's ready for prime-time.
