Description:
MySQL Administrator doesn't handle Command Line Parameters, which
makes it unusable within Batch/Shell-Scripts or other calls.

How to repeat:

Suggested fix:
Add Command Line Parameters like the MySQL-Client has:

mysqladministrator(.exe) [options] [tablename]

--user=user_name, -u user_name
--host=host_name, -h host_name
--password[=password], -p[password]
...

The Linux version already supports the following options:

Usage: ./mysql-administrator-bin [OPTIONS]
  -h,--help             Display this help and exit.
  -u,--user=name        User for login if not current user.
  -p,--password=s       Password to use when connecting to server.
  -h,--host=name        Connect to host.
  -P,--port=#           Port number to use for connection.
  -S,--socket=name      Socket file to use for connection.
  -c,--connection=name  Specify the name of a connection to use.
  -bp name               Execute backup with named profile.
  -bt target             Target path for backup.
  -bx prefix             Prefix for backup file.
  -c,--connection=name  Specify the name of a connection to use.
  --dont-connect        Start without connecting to a MySQL server.
  --mycnf=path          Path for my.cnf file.

Great, this Command Line Parameters should be ported to Windows as well.
