Building MySQL Embedded for Amarok 2

[edward.hades at gmail.com]

By the way, forgot to mention that the "-fPIC or not -fPIC" debate is
irrelevant. Mysql's configure script has a --with-pic flag, so
packaging a PIC-enabled libmysqld is not screwing with the package
everyone uses, but adding a flexibility, suggested by mysql itself. On
the other hand, this flag is borked and does nothing for libmysqld,
but upstream agreed that it's their fault (see relevant mysql bug), so
it's package maintainers' responsibility to fix it downstream.

Cheers,
Aides
