Description:
The Proxy Documentation for "Using the Administration Interface" needs updated.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-proxy-using-admin.html

The above page does not mention that the administration interface has been converted to a plugin, and hence it provides outdated information on how to use the admin interface.  It shows commands that cannot be run, and thus is quite confusing to anyone who does not know this.

You must now load your own script, of which it is not mentioned, nor is one even provided.  So there should also be a simple admin script provided that users can load to perform at least a basic task.

But in the meantime, this needs to be updated so people know how to use it now.

How to repeat:
N/A

Suggested fix:
N/A

The documentation has been updated with the admin details, actually using Diego's example.
