Description:
When upgrading from 5.0 to 5.1 the user s required to run 'mysql_upgrade' in order to
check and update the system tables.
mysql_upgrade calls mysql_check (that checks that tables are ok) and then calls
mysql_fix_privileges_tables.
During the initial run, if the server is started with the --output=table option
mysql_check reports errors related to 'mysql.general_log' not being present

How to repeat:
1) start a 5.0 system
2) Stop the system and start a 5.1 system pointing to the same database
(make sure the server is started with --log-output=table (or file,table)
3) Run the 'mysql_upgrade' command
Suggested fix:
This either needs to be fixed or documented to the users that the above error while
running mysql_upgrade (when upgrading from a 5.0 or previous system) is harmless.
Otherwise users might think there is something wrong with their upgrade
