I hate awk (not because it's difficult, but because of all the overhead,
and quite often people make things a lot more complicated by using awk)

In this case, it's easy to do with sed, i.e.:

sed 's/^\[mysqld\]$/&\nuser\t\t= mysql/' /etc/my.cnf

Doesn't that look much easier!?!?   ;-)
(only took me a couple minutes to come up with that! :)
