I prefer people to build from source, too.  The binaries are provided 
only as a limited-value convenience.

That should work just fine.  I do that to avoid name clashes, since many 
of the headers in MySQL++ have pretty generic names.

One doesn't patch the configure script.  It's a generated file.  You 
want to look at configure.in, which is the 'input' file here.  See the 
section beginning on line 23.

You may not have to patch configure.in at all, but instead just give the 
--with-mysql-lib and --with-mysql-include flags to configure.  Say 
configure --help for details.
