Better it sounds than it looks.

I've quick-tested this on deleuze, and mysql immediately
created additional files in the new datadir:

ib_logfile0
ib_logfile1
ibdata1
mysql_upgrade.info

Do the 0, 1 etc. mean mysql will create more files with higher 
numbers in there, or this is it? Maybe we could live with those
four if mysql will not attempt to delete/recreate them at some
point (or create new ones).
