Oops, haha, I remember looking at it and also thinking what you just
said.  Sorry for the noise.

Alfred, there actually is a port databases/p5-DBD-mysql which is the
only one that ports should depend on (I had this conversation with
Alex Dupre IIRC, the maintainer of mysql).

I'll do a quick scan for ports depending on the versioned ports and get PRs in.
