if you have a patch, sure, send it in :) I'd prefer something along the
lines:
- Add a new `Instance' (or whatever) block inside the <Plugin  mysql>
  block (for that you'd have to use the ``complex configuration''
  callback) which specifies the instance to monitor.
- If no instance is defined the behavior must be the same as it is now
  to preserve backwards compatibility.
- The configuration could look somewhat like this:
  <Plugin "mysql">
    <Instance "myinstance">
      Host "localhost"
      Port "3306"
    </Instance>
    <Instance "otherinst">
      Host "localhost"
      Port "3307"
    </Instance>
    ...
  </Plugin>
- The plugin-instance should then be set to `myinstance' or `otherinst'
  or left empty in the default case (no Instance-block).
