I would like to subdir all the mysql ports to remove conflicts. I have a 
mysql51 port pretty much done. The issue I am having is with the use of 
mysql_select. When the binaries are symlinked into prefix/bin then port load 
can load the wrong mysql. I haven't fixed this yet. I temporary fix would be to 
just not symlink the bin/mysqld, I think that is the issue where mysqld_safe 
picks up bin/mysqld if it's present.

I will commit mysql51 now so others can offer improvements.
