I tried it with kchmviewer, and compared to the info file, the chm file 
even has a usable index. And nice markup. Colors. A table of contents 
browser. You can click on a link to follow it.

Unfortunately, the MySQL distfile doesn't ship with the documentation in 
HTML or PDF format, which I had preferred over chm.

Investigating further, I found the HTML version on the MySQL homepage, 
with some obscure licensing terms, but I think they are covered by the 
pkgsrc distribution methods.

I can import that instead of having the CHM file.
