[Reindl Harald <h.reindl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

* because wrapper-scripts are a bad idea on modern
  linux distributions and mysqld_safe is not needed there
* because rpmbuild's automatic depsolve get useless without
* because 99 out of 100 applications have configure-switches
  to build with- or without optional libraries BUT the resulting
  binary has clear dependencies
* because LD_PRELOAD is nothing more than a hack

example why mysqld_safe is no longer needed and this
runs in production since 2011 on a couple of servers
