Description:
After upgrading my client software to 5.0.32, MySql Administrator continues to report version 5.0.27.  

I verified that the package for the 5.0.32 client software included the libmysqlclient* libraries.

When I tried to recompile MySql Administrator to see if the client version was determined at compile-time, I ran into bug 25455.

How to repeat:
Upgrade client software.
Run MySql Administrator.

After recompiling, the correct client version is reported.

This version should be determined at run-time rather than compile-time.

I have changed the version detection to be done at runtime, but please note
that the version that's displayed corresponds to the client library being used
by MySQL Administrator. It is not necessarily the same as the version of the client programs (neither of the client library, if MA is linked statically) currently installed.
