please add `enewuser` and `enewgroup` to the mysql ebuilds so we can remove them
from baselayout's passwd/group

It already do it from a long time.

The mysql-3.23.58 ebuilds manage to do it with useradd & groupadd.
If it's not mandatory to change it I prefere to leave things as is.

All the >=mysql-4.0 ebuilds uses enewgroup & enewuser in the pkg_preinst()
portion of the ebuild.

Closing this, if I'm missing something please feel free to reopen.
