Sorry, maybe deprecated is the wrong word. I think the option name may have
changed from '-p', I can't remember, and I don't have a mysql server handy
right now to test it with. I vaguely recall using the '-p' option and it
said something about it being vague, but still allowing me to use it. I'm
sure someone who actually knows will post at some point...
