Could const char* be used instead of char*? I assume the function isn't modifying the input arguments.
Not using const is troublesome for C++ callers.

Manual (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/mysql-library-init.html) says:

"mysql_library_init() makes a copy of the arguments so it is safe to destroy argv or groups after the call."

So, why not...
