Bug #5306 Mac OS X: 4.1 /Library/StartupItems script mis-named, failing

Version:	4.1	OS:	MacOS (Mac OS X)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
In the downloadable version of 4.1 for Mac OS X, there is an autostartup program. It installed into the directory /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM.  The executable script inside the MySQLCOM directory, however, is named MySQL.  Under OS X I believe the directory and the startup script must have the same name.  As delivered, the startup script fails (without an error message that i can find).  

How to repeat:
1. Install the downloadable version of 4.1 server on Mac OS X (personal, not server)
2. Restart Mac

Result:  mysql does not start
Expect:  mysql should start

Suggested fix:
If you rename the startup script itself from MySQL to MySQLCOM the database launches properly on startup.
