Thanks for the information!

I've used it to update the mysqlbinlog page on the wiki:

http://askmonty.org/wiki/Manual:Mysqlbinlog

The part dealing with --rewrite-db is at the bottom of the page (it's
the last row in the big mysqlbinlog options table).

Let me know if there are any errors or if you think something more
should be added.

Thanks again!
