To my surprise, the layouts form a binary install and a source install are quite different. At first I thought this was silly and a clearly terrible idea, but then I figured I ought to leave room for the fact that I'm new to FreeBSD, Unix, and installing-from-source, and maybe there's lots I don't know. Can anyone tell me why MySQL would have done this? I figure their reason is probably interesting and enlightening (at least to a newguy like me).
