Subject: removing bundled libmysql
From: sterling@bumblebury.com (Sterling Hughes)

Hey,

I'm putting this message out as a feeler.  I'm going to go ahead and
remove the mysql library from the PHP source tree.  This won't affect
the extension, it simply means we won't be bundling the *library* with
PHP anymore.  This is in a large part due to MySQL's decision to switch
to using the GPL for their client libraries as well.  Linkage will still
be available, but we can't ship the GPL library, and the MySQL 3.2.23
library can't connect to MySQL 4.1 servers, rendering it broken.

Speak now, or forever hold your peace. ;-)
