Good idea, I'll fix it. We have an OSX format for 10.7 and later that 
announces itself as "Mac OS X 10.7+" so maybe this one should say "MySQL 
4.1+". To be really correct we should say 4.1.1+ according to the 
document JJ Gray helpfully linked (thanks!) but I think 4.1+ will do.

Also, the old mysql format just says "MySQL". It should probably say 
"MySQL pre-4.1".

Thanks,
magnum
