OK.  I'll grab it from CVS..

No, but I will.

I don't think so.  If I use that argument, then won't it look for the
mysql libraries in /usr/local/lib?  Since I have mysql installed in
/usr/local/mysql, the libraries are located in /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql.  
When I ran configure with --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql it generated a
Makefile with -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql on the LDFLAGS line.  The
'#include <mysql/mysql.h>' line would tell the compiler to look in
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/mysql for mysql.h, which isn't right.
