Description:
Can´t set path to 'my.ini' file with option '--defaults-file=e:\my.ini' in embedded MySQL server with mysql_server_init().
mysqld always searchs my.ini in c:\ and c:\windows first
why is current directory omitted??

How to repeat:
const
 argv1: array[0..3] of PChar = ('--defaults-file=e:/my.ini',...

...
mysql_server_init(4, @argv1,@argv2);
p:=mysql_init(nil);
...

Using the sample from the Manual and modifying the queries
I was able for to use --defaults-file=xxxx without any problems.

C:\temp>bug8421.exe
>> 4.1.10-embedded-debug

>> datadir      d:\mytest\data\

C:\temp>type d:\mytest\my.ini
[embedded]
basedir=d:/mytest
datadir=d:/mytest/data

just edit correctly argc=xx argv[1]= "--defaults-file=xxxxx" before
mysql_server_init(argc, argv, (char **)server_groups);.
