Description:
I see "skip-locking" in my*.cnf files, however it is NOT listed on:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-options.html

Searching google yeilds :

" The mysqld startup options --skip-locking and --enable-locking were renamed to --skip-external-locking and --external-locking."

That was changed in 4.0.

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
Should at least mention the alias on http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-options.html

AND, modify the default config files to reflect the standard.

Thanks,
Jeff

Thank you for the bug report.

From server --help:

  --skip-locking      Deprecated option, use --skip-external-locking instead.

Please take a look if configure.in should also be fixed.
OK to push with that small comment.
