OK, I will!

OK.  Should I wait until you've completed that before I post my patch?  
That way, I can re-write the patch so it compiles on all platforms.

No problem!

BTW, I forgot one other thing in my original message.  I had to change the
following lines from:

#include <mysql/mysql.h>
#include <mysql/my_pthread.h>

to:

#include <mysql.h>
#include <my_pthread.h>

I have MySQL installed in /usr/local/mysql, so I passed configure an
argument of --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql.  Will the above changes break
compiling on Linux?
