Hi everyone!

A branch just hit trunk that changes the default testing and client
tool port to 3306 (the official MySQL port), which is compatible with
the MySQL protocol. This change is being done so we have a stable
port to continue using while the new protocol is being developed
on 4427 (the official Drizzle port). All the client tools (drizzle,
drizzledump, ...) also default to using the MySQL protocol mode in
libdrizzle now.

Drizzle will still listen 4427 for the time being, but it is suggested
to start using port 3306 for all communication with the server. The
protocol behind 4427 will start to change sometime in the future,
and at that point current tools and clients will need the latest
client libraries to communicate with it. I'm going to be updating
libdrizzle to also default to 3306 in MySQL mode, so any drivers
out there today built on libdrizzle will also get the update. As
new protocol development begins, using it will require a special
experimental libdrizzle connect flag that will be created.

If you run into any issues with this change, please let us know by
filing a bug. :)

Thanks!
-Eric
