Hi

https://code.launchpad.net/~brianaker/drizzle/libdrizzle-2.0-not-install
"Remove support for installing libdrizzle-2.0 until we get it stabalized"

I'm ok with this. However, libdrizzle-2.0 contains a small and
independent utility mysql_password_hash.cc which was made available as
bin/drizzle_password_hash by a recent patch of mine. (Before then it
was just there in the sources, never installed.)

This utility can be used to generate the double hashed MySQL
compatible passwords on a unix command line. It is useful with
auth_ldap - you could use this to generate a drizzleUserPassword field
in the LDAP directory. (Normal posix passwords are hashed differently
and stored in a different field.) I documented it and everything and
after completing some other basic tasks would like to do some
marketing around the fact we support LDAP based authentication much
better than the other MySQL-forks.




So the question is:

Can I move mysql_password_hash.cc to libdrizzle-1.0 ?

Alternatively, I can put it in plugin/auth_ldap/ but I actually like
it being part of libdrizzle, it is a drizzle client utility (or admin
utility) as far as I'm concerned.





While at it, I would rename the file to drizzle_password_hash.cc as it
seems nobody else than auth_ldap really cares about it. The binary is
already called drizzle_password_hash.
