2.0 - 2004.08.11

 - due to wild variations on how SHOW SLAVE STATUS returns
   results based on the version of MySQL, switched to 
   using a hashref instead of an array for reliability
 - now dependent on Mail::Toaster instead of MATT::Bundle
 - renamed sub grant to grant_replication
 - also pass debug to get_vars, and backup subs
 - rename extract_archive to extract_slave_archive
 - moved VerifyQuery, flush_logs, get_hashes, and 
   shutdown_mysqld to Mail::Toaster::Mysql
 - extract_slave_archive now uses a gunzip -c $file | tar
   type method instead of hoping tar supports -z
 - added more debugging notes in various places

1.6.4 - 05.10.2004

 - Fixed a typo causing purge_logs to not work
   correctly.

 - Updated several sub calls from MysqlUnlockTable
   to UnlockTable and MysqlLockTable to LockTable.

1.6.1 - 11.24.2003

   you update your ~/.my.cnf.
 - Prototyped all my subroutines

1.3.6 - 2003.02.10
