please do it

we are using mysqlnd on some hundret domains with all sort of php-softwar=
e
since PHP 5.3.3 (the first 5.3 version we used) and thinking back how
hard it was to get the fedora-srpm chnaged to build with mysqlnd
my opinion is drop the libmysql-support completly

you named the main-reason for that: auto-tests

supporting both without a real good reason will have permanently
side-effects covered in bugreports and instead maintain two code-paths
from the view of quality it would be better to optimize mysqlnd
if there is something missing what i do not know now
