Description:
in libs\debug there used to be the PDB files for libmysql, mysqlclient etc. In 5.1.28 these are gone, which produce wany warnings when linking with Debug info in my application. If I want to do a static link (with mysqlclient) and still debug my application, I get those warnings. Which aren't that bad, but unnecessary.

How to repeat:
Link a MySQL application statically in Visual C++ with mysqlclient as usual, and yu will get a load of warnings for mysqlclient.pdb missing.

Suggested fix:
Include the .pdb files again. They do no harm and are not that big either.

Of a random selection of 5.1.35 packages:

  mysql-noinstall-5.1.35-winx64.zip
  mysql-noinstall-5.1.35-win32.zip
  mysql-advanced-gpl-noinstall-5.1.35-win32.zip

  mysql-essential-5.1.35-win32.msi
  mysql-5.1.35-win32.msi

contain .pdb files for libmysql, mysqlclient, mysys, regex, strings, zlib.

These do *not* include the .pdb files:

  mysql-5.1.35-winx64.msi ("complete" install)
  mysql-essential-5.1.35-winx64.msi ("complete" install)
  mysql-advanced-gpl-5.1.35-winx64.msi ("complete" install)

Looks like an issue with x64 msi installers.
