#232 setting port to MYSQL_PORT breaks my.cnf setting

[Monty Taylor]

In _mysql.c, port is set to the default value of MYSQL_PORT. Problem is, if a value other than 0 is passed to mysql_real_connect, that value will override any value set in my.cnf or ~/.my.cnf, effectively meaning that non-standard port settings do not work via read_default_group in python.

The fix is merely to set port=0, which will cause mysql to use the compiled in port number as a default if it is not set elsewhere.

This got fixed way back in rev 625, about 3 years ago
