Description:
MySQLCOM is the os x startup script (their init-ish implementation).  We install
and enable it with the StartupPackage that's included in our DMG but we don't
include it anywhere in the tar builds.  It would make sense to include it in
support-files/ where the mysql.server script is (that's it's init equivalent).

How to repeat:
n/a

Suggested fix:
Add MySQLCOM to support-files/

The file is available from the source packages, and is installed by the OS X installer packages we provide. Wanting to be able to do the work manually from a tarball is bordering on a feature request (especially as the file is available from the source tarball), so don't expect any change anytime soon.

In cases where an installer does not exist for one's platform/OS (e.g. OS X 10.5 on PPC), it would be very beneficial to those users to be able to download the StartupItem separately instead of having to download an additional 27.1 MB just for that one component.  I hardly think that's a feature request.

Won't fix per MRU criteria (W5).
