AC_PROG_MYSQLADMIN
Check for the program 'mysqladmin' let script continue if exists & works pops up error message if not.
Testing of functionality is by invoking it with root password 'rootpass' and a 'flush-privileges' command.
Besides checking mysql, this macro also set these environment variables upon completion:
MYSQLADMIN = which mysqladmin
MYSQL_DATADIR = directory containing mysql database
