Agreed.  This is a much cleaner approach to the problem.

This is a fundamental limitation of all mysql modules I've seen. 
Implementing this is quite a big step up from the usual install 
package/manage databases setup as it requires configuring the new db 
cluster, and passing the port through all other defines.


I think the common solution is either kernel or h/w level virtualisation 
(e.g. openvz, xen, or kvm) instead of trying to cram multiple db 
clusters onto the same base installation.
