[csw-maintainers] MySQL shared libraries - how about /opt/csw/lib?

If this is a short term step as part of a larger plan to consolidate
the entire package back under the 'normal' prefix, that's good.  Don't
you think it's potentially more inconvenient (to you and the users) to
do this piecemeal though?

Ok.

Thanks
