I just commited the patches in the last @24 hours to take mysql to 4.0.16
in pkgsrc-wip.  There is now an extra issue with -current in that it does
not build which was not present in the previous versions.  The issue with
it not shutting down correctly on current I last tested on 1.6U.

It quite happily builds and runs for me under 1.6.x and has for quite a
while.

It would be really good to see this in pkgsrc.
