+Adjust the mysql-log-rotate script in several ways:
+
+* Use the correct log file pathname for Red Hat installations.
+* Enable creation of the log file by logrotate (needed since
+  /var/log/ isn't writable by mysql user); and set the same 640
+  permissions we normally use.
+* Comment out the actual rotation commands, so that user must edit
+  the file to enable rotation.  This is unfortunate, but the fact
+  that the script will probably fail without manual configuration
+  (to set a root password) means that we can't really have it turned
+  on by default.  Fortunately, in most configurations the log file
+  is low-volume and so rotation is not critical functionality.
