Suggested fix:
There are no some files in tarball.

Hi

The problem you've reported is because the required MySQL client library version is 5.0 or later. You can comment out the code in question if you'd like to continue with your current client libraries anyway. I'll probably add some tests to that code so it will build with 4.x client libs as well.

Thanks for the report.

Perhaps a ./configure option, or some form of test. 
 
When do you think this will be resolved? Am trying to setup automated 
installations from source, and would perfer not to half to go commenting code 
out. Thanks.

I've added #ifdefs checking for that. I'll probably release another alpha
during this weekend or next week, which will have this problem fixed.
