Add Innodb plugin to mysql5-devel

[akira@…]

Innobase released the InnoDB Plugin on MySQL conference 2008. ​http://www.innodb.com/innodb_plugin/

Please integrate this into MacPorts's MySQL. (as a new port or a variant?)

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

InnoDB support has of course been built into MySQL since MySQL 3.23.

Looks like now they have an InnoDB plugin that can be used instead for more features. It's at version 1.0.0 but they also call it an "early adopter" release. We usually want ports for stable released versions only, but this may be an exception since it requires MySQL 5.1 which is also not yet released.

Looks like it can't be a separate port; it must be a variant in the mysql5-devel port, since to compile it, you must replace a directory in the MySQL distribution and then compile MySQL.

Added 'innodb_plugin' variant as ryan suggested.

$ port variants mysql5-devel
mysql5-devel has the variants:
        universal
        darwin_6
        darwin_8
        server: add a startup item
        innodb_plugin: Install the innodb plugin

it looks fine to me.

Thanks for the patch. I reworked it a little and applied it in r36616.
