Why "is older than 4.1.2"?

I haven't found any reason in documentation and changes...

thinks i want to change:

• if SHOW DATABASE fails try INFORMATION_SCHEMA
• merge PMA_safe_db_list(), PMA_availableDatabases(),

PMA_DBI_get_dblist() into a single function

• if the dblist is still empty check `mysql` and `INFORMATION_SCHEMA`

with USE DATABASE and add them to the list

Looks okay for me ... I actually never understood why we have so many functions for listing databases.
