Description:
I was looking through the share/mysql directory after running "make install"
on Linux today, and I noticed that a bunch of .plist files are installed:

share/mysql:
total 596

Aren't those Mac OS X-only files?

This is true for 4.0, 4.1, 5.0, and 5.1 distributions installed after
compiling from the current BK trees.  I noticed this on Linux,
although possibly it occurs on other non-Mac OS X systems.

How to repeat:
See above.

I noticed also with 4.1.14 on Suse 9.3 Linux.
