I recompiled the development version of mysql driver against client library 
version 5, and everything seems correct. I mean, I can access my MySQL 4 
databases without any problem. As I don't have MySQL 5 databases under the 
hood, I will suppose it is good for it too :-)

So the next stable and development version will be compiled against MySQL 5 
client libraries.
