As near I can figure, Phil, it's because he *has* an FC3 machine
already running *with an already in-use MySQL 3 on it*.

The old "componentized software" problem strikes again: it's much
easier to support the package if you're willing to strictly specify
what people are expected to run it on... but that restricts people from
running it on what they've already got going...
