Other things that could be considered in this are:

1. Do messages call the user 'one' or 'you', for example:
"Enable automatic rehashing. One doesn't need to use 'rehash' to get
table and field completion, but startup and reconnecting may take a
longer time. Disable with --disable-auto-rehash."
and
"Change the value of a variable. Please note that this option is
deprecated; you can set variables directly with --variable-name=value."

2. How 'English' messages should be:
"Directory where character sets are."
or
"Directory with which character sets are located."

I guess it is a bit anal but I am just thinking consistency.

Kind Regards
