I don't know - does mysql server ask this before it installs?  I think
so long as there is an option to disable, we should default to
whatever is better for the network.  The user has volunteered to run
Freenet after all.  Remember also that Napster probably wouldn't have
worked if they hadn't defaulted to auto-running.  Obviously Freenet !=
Napster, but the analogy is valid in this case.
