Won't work for a native Windows build.

Please consider not looking at directly replacing the my-*.cnf files,  
but rather updating the my.cnf default/baseline config installed by  
some of the packages as discussed previously. We can then work on also  
incorporating that config into the other packages. For existing  
installs getting updated, a copy of the file can be put in to all  
packages under another name.

Naturally the old my-*.cnf need to disappear. But that's a separate  
issue.
From my experience, it's fairly imporant to put a baseline config in  
place, since many people will not (at least initially) adjust the  
config. Most distros require some kind of config anyway to put some  
things in the right place for their distro layout, so a my.cnf must  
exist anyway - it's not a matter of creating one by copying the  
sample, it would replace one already there. So you might as well make  
that one there more sane from the start, and that's what the above does.

Regards,
Arjen.
