Just as some feedback, is there any way to use libmysqld.so rather than 
.a? Is this even an option (from mysql)?

As mysql can (and does) have security updates in the lifetime of a 
stable distro, requiring a static version here means that amarok will 
have to be rebuilt whenever this happens (to be sure it's not 
susceptible to the same issue that triggered the update).

Any thoughts on this?
