- Added option "--skip-name-resolve" to mysql_install_db to be able to

   use the local machine's IP address instead of the host name when 
   building the initial grant tables if "skip-name-resolve" has been
   specified in my.cnf. This can be helpful on FreeBSD to avoid
   thread-safety problems with the FreeBSD resolver libraries.
   (Thanks to Jeremy Zawodny for the patch)
