okay. fair enough.

i'll take a closer look at the patch.

you can run it without the wrapper, but i think the wrapper does a lot
of work that should be abstracted from the init script, which then
in turn keeps the init script much simpler (which is a good thing,
since the init script is a conffile).
so, i'll look more closely at the whole mysqld_safe situation, and if
we can do this in a not-so-invasive manner that doesn't break other
things, then great. otherwise we can provide an alternative wrapper
specifically for systems that require being able to send mysql such
signals. sound good?
