Your advice is correct in general, but not in this case:
1) Noel builds from source, as he writes later.
2) Both MySQL 5.1 and 5.5 come with version 16 of "libmysqlclient", so
   an application built against MySQL 5.1 can directly use that of 5.5.

Right, MySQL 5.0 -> 5.1 had the transition 15 -> 16 for
"libmysqlclient[_r].so".
