docs for mysqldb

[Leonardo B Lopes]

Yes, my dist. also came with docs, but cursor.execute() and
cursor.executemany() are not documented there. The user is referred to
the Python DBI 2.0 docs, which say that the convention for passing
parameters is open to the implementer. Searching the web for examples
show some orcale example where parameters are referred to as ":1", ":2". 

The examples in the dist have a regular pythonlike "%s" placeholder, but
the docs talk about defining types of parameters beforehand to speed
things up, and I can't see how that applies if we're just doing the
equivalent of a sprintf operation.
