It installs the source files necessary to build your own RPM.  I don't 
know exactly how you build RPMs on Mandrake (there are distro-specific 
directory layouts involved) but basically you find the mysql++.spec file 
(it would be in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS on a Red Hat or Fedora system) and 
say "rpmbuild -bb mysql++.spec".  This will build the binary RPM, which 
will probably be in ../RPMS/i386 relative to the SPECS directory.

So why not use it, if it seems to work?
