The idea of Percona Server is to be a complete drop-in replacement with
zero or near-zero effort going to/from MySQL... so having a different
configuration file would mean that switching to Percona Server would
suddenly use a different configuration, potentially even preventing the
server from starting (as the datadir is the same).

I'm not sure what the best idea is here....
