Innobackupex can't parse "set-variable" lines from my.cnf

[Miguel Angel Nieto]

If I use "set-variable = something = value" on the my.cnf, innobackup can't parse it. For example:

set-variable = innodb_log_file_size=536870912

this is the log of the backup:

InnoDB: Error: log file /var/lib/mysql/ib_logfile0 is of different size 0 536870912 bytes
InnoDB: than specified in the .cnf file 0 5242880 bytes!
innobackupex: Error: ibbackup child process has died at /usr/bin/innobackupex line 381.

set-variable = innodb_log_file_size=536870912

to

innodb_log_file_size=536870912

it will work.

Note that the set-variable syntax is deprecated and removed in MySQL 5.5.3 according to http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en//program-variables.html

But still have to support it as long as we support 5.1.
