Unless there are any objections to that solution, I'll do a proper diff
against the .sh script rather than its product and put it in my branch?

mysqld_safe does not honour underscores in options like mysqld does

Status in OurDelta - Builds for MySQL: Confirmed

Bug description:
mysqld accepts both dashes and underscores in server options, however 
mysqld_safe does not.
Since it's unclear from the user's perspective (and they shouldn't NEED to 
know!) which options get processed only by mysqld_safe, this can mean that they 
use an option in the wrong way but don't notice it.
Example... open_files_limit
When written like that, it mysqld_safe will not recognise it and thus not call 
ulimit -n
...
The option WILL be feed to mysqld so it shows the "correct" number in SHOW 
GLOBAL VARIABLES. Except, since ulimit wasn't called, it's not actually in 
effect!
