Comment:

 It's also used by the launchd script users are encouraged to use at the
 end of the port install process; I only noticed any of this because
 mysql.server
 failed after a fresh install and launchctl load.

 It looks like the underlying problem was my.cnf having "basedir =
 /opt/local" but not having bindir set to /opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin -
 it defaults to $basedir/bin and that's broken by the non-standard binary
 names. If you'd prefer I'll open a new ticket requesting that MacPorts
 follow the standard naming convention to avoid breaking scripts.
