how to connect to the remote "slave" host/user/pass
(authentication is implicit in the current code as the SQL thread runs
on the slave with SUPER privileges [I think]).

I've not really looked at the code, but any code the size of MySQL is
bound to be big and knowing how to rip out the right stuff requires
quite a lot of study...
