Description:
In previous versions of MySQL, the optimized dlls / libs were in lib/opt. In MySQL 5.5.6 and 5.5.7, these are now in the lib directory, with the debug libraries (only static ones at that, see bug #58531) are in lib/debug.

This breaks existing build scripts.

How to repeat:
Download the MSI installer for any of MySQL 5.5.6 or 5.5.7 and install or download the corresponding zip files, in any the the situation is the same with both 32 and 64-bit versions.

Suggested fix:
Put the libraries where they used to be, or at least make sure that mysql_config works on Windows, without having Perl installed.

This was an intentional change, and there are no plans to revisit that change now.
