I have added one feature already and have a few bug and performance fixes as well. My questions: Is there a license for MyEnv? If no, can you include one? Also, would you like me to pass my changes upstream? If so, how would be the best way. Mantis? Related to the licensing questions, would it be acceptable for redistribution with my changes? (eg. a public GitHub repository). Thanks for writing MyEnv, it’s going to make this project far more polished without having to use mysqld_multi again.
