All:

It would be really nice if there were some way (a variable) to make 
MySQL totally ignore certain directories in the datadir - for example, 
"lost+found", "RCS", and suchlike.

The listed dirs should not show up in SHOW DATABASES and you should not 
be able to CREATE a database with a name that's on the list.

(Sorry if this has come up before and been hashed to death. Google
couldn't find much on this subject.)
