buglet in my.cnf parsing/handling

["Neulinger, Nathan R." <nneul@xxxxxxx>]

I consider this a bug... other might not.

I have:

.my.cnf:
-------
[client]
password
host = mysql.rollanet.org

[mysql]
verbose
-------

If I type "mysql" by itself, everything works fine. But if I try to use
"-ppassword" on any tool, it fails. I think that "password" in the config
shouldn't trigger if the password is specified on the command line. 

The problem is that if you have "password" in the config to make interactive
use convenient, any non-interactive use with a different wired password will
never work.
