	I think that to use libmap.conf(5) is a best solution:-), if
	someone want to use low resolution version.  I didn't confirm
	following setting:

# All binaries use low resolution version on /usr/local/bin/
[/usr/local/bin/]
libc.so.6	libwrapper.so.1

	Of cource, you can use mysql only, and no more controll by
	environment variable.
