Yes, I know. I seem to have great aim when it comes to shooting myself
in the foot. ;-) Fortunately, I see no pressing need for me to upgrade
or remove MySQL, as the current config is exactly what I need.

I'll remember this for next time.

BTW, I guess I am not the only one to not be able to install MySQL from
ports. I have tried on three different machines all running 4.9 and it
never worked. Go figure.
