Usually, the mysql directory and its contents are owned by root, except the data
directory and its contents, which must be owned by mysql. Groups don't matter
to mysql itself, but are useful externally. Group wheel is fine for the
root-owned stuff, but group mysql is typical for the mysql-owned data directory,
including contents. This is described in the manual
<http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/installing-binary.html>.
