And if this doesn't work, you should be able to build it without the
Ports Collection using the standard build procedure described at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/index.html (currently chapter
2).  If you choose this method and have trouble with it, please enter
a problem report with MySQL (http://bugs.mysql.com/).
