This is all kinds of awesome. The one major, and only problem I had
with mysqle was that I couldn't compile a universal binary against the
10.4 sdk on os 10.5. It might have work with the 10.4 sdk on 10.4 but
it's been so long my memory's pretty hazy about all that now.
In any case it would alleviate having to have two separate amarok
packages (one for i386, and another for ppc)
