There were problems with p5-DBD-mysql on -CURRENT. I don't know if
they have been resolved, yet. And p5-DBD-mysql needs mysql_config
which is in mysql323-server only at the moment.

I tried to include support for innodb once. But with innodb enabled
mysqld doesn't run out of the box. You have to put some lines in
your my.cnf first.
A simple WITH_INNODB switch is ok for me but working on a solution
to include it generally would be better...

Yes, I discussed this with another user of mysql. mysql should look
in ${PREFIX}/etc _after_ /etc. So it doesn't break any existing
installions. There is a char *default_directories[] in mysys/defaults.c
which lists where to look for my.cnf.

Diffs are always appreciated (especially for the my.cnf stuff). 8-)
