Really ?

     `-O, --set-variable var=option'
        Give a variable a value. `--help' lists variables.  You can find a
        full description for all variables in the `SHOW VARIABLES' section
        in this manual.  *Note SHOW VARIABLES::.

No, you don't :)

ft_min_word_len is normal mysqld variable, and can be set in mysqld
command-line or in /etc/my.cnf (~/.my.cnf).
