Propose to have a symbolic link to all executables listed under section 
2.1 key objects in the onepager, from /usr/bin. As they all are relevant
for "ease of use".

How should the versioning of the config file be done?
Should we have only a config file in /etc/mysql/5.0/my.cnf or should we
have /etc/mysql/my.cnf as well? or a symlink?
(In any case we need to change the search path for the config file(s))
