Simple. The #defines for MSQL_PORT and MSQL_UNIX_ADDR in common/site.h are
hangovers from msql1. They are not used anywhere else in the code; they
should be deleted.

The change in port number is so you can have msql1 and msql2 running
together on the same machine. Also, it makes it less likely that an msql1
client will try to talk to an msql2 server, or vice versa.
