If we're rushing to release, can we at least bundle a version of mysqli that can work with the 4.1-alpha download packages on MySQL.com? There's going to be zero public testing of this extension when people need to: 1) Install BitKeeper (which I can't even do on my Mac OS X) 2) Upgrade to autoconf 2.5.3 3) Upgrade to Automake 1.5 4) Upgrade to Libtool 1.4 5) Upgrade to Bison 1.7.5 If they want to build MySQL 4.1 from "CVS," which is what's necessary to get mysqli to compile. That's a real PITA and I doubt anyone's going to do this without extreme motivation. -adam -- adam@trachtenberg.com
