FHS is a Linux standard, and makes no sense at all to people on other
Unix OS's[1]. Also /tmp/mysql.socket is the default on MySQL itself, so it
would make sense to match that for the least amount of confusion.

If its not a 'configure' option, that should be fixed, but otherwise,
I don't think /var/run/drizzle/mysql.socket makes any sense for the
source distribution of Drizzle (and, keep in mind that I am a Debian
and Ubuntu developer, so for my chosen platforms, this would make the
packaging simpler, but I still think its the wrong approach).
