commit d0afe239b0acf09c426b3f79e837e22706c669d6
Author: Jeff Garrett <jeff@jgarrett.org>

    Remove the MySQL embedded server
    
    Embedded server support does not exist in MySQL 5.0.
    To configure which external MySQL server to use, create a
    file ~/roadster/roadster.conf:
    [mysql]
    host = $host
    user = $user
    password = $password
    database = $database
    
    If the file does not exist, or some parameters are not
    specified, default values will be used (localhost, same user,
    no password, no database).
