I used fink to install MySQL rather than using the official installer. As a result, I didn't have a pre-fab script to start MySQL on boot. I couldn't find one, and my efforts to make one that worked were twarted by things I didn't care to take the time to sort out. Thus, I stole the official StartupItems script and hacked it to work with fink. For those in a similar situation who aren't afraid to use my dirty hacks, a download is available. Modest familiarity of StartupItems is assumed.
