Description:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/server-system-variables.html .. lists 'have_inodb' as a server variable.

But 
SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'have_innodb'; 
-- returns empty set

Only affect 5.6x.

How to repeat:
See above.

Suggested fix:
I *guess* that this is an issue with docs and categorize accordingly.  
But I cannot be perfectly sure, of course, if removal of the variable was intentional.

One should read till the end!

"This variable was removed in MySQL 5.6.1. Use SHOW ENGINES instead!
