2ce7564f6f Defer the creation of the initial MySQL database directories until we
actually try to run MySQL server.  Beef up the rc.d script to work on
systems that don't use NetBSD's rc.d script system, and to support an
"initdb" command to initialize the MySQL database for first-time use.

3a8f34af4e MySQL is a SQL (Structured Query Language) database server. SQL is the
most popular database language in the world.  MySQL is a client-server
implementation that consists of a server daemon `mysqld' and many
different client programs/libraries.

The main goals of MySQL are speed and robustness.

The base upon which MySQL is built is a set of routines that have been
used in a highly demanding production environment for many years.  While
MySQL is still in development it already offers a rich and highly useful
function set.

The official way to pronounce 'MySQL' is 'My Ess Que Ell' (Not MY-SEQUEL).

This package contains the MySQL server programs and libraries.
