Erm, I knew that! You're absolutely right, of course. That said,
though, the tarball contains a copy of configure and I never looked
further...i.e. I never thought about autoconf or read the README.
But see below...

This is exactly what I did...
./configure --prefix=/usr --includedir=/usr/include/mysql++ \
--with-mysql-include=/root/of/mysql-includes
(where /root/of/mysql-includes/usr/include/mysql contains what you'd
expect)
Now the fact that I didn't use the --with-mysql-lib switch may be
significant or (more likely) the fact that I didn't use --with-mysql
gives me different results than you get.
I played with it a little, using the bootstrap command as follows:
./bootstrap --prefix=/usr --includedir=/usr/include/mysql++ \
--with-mysql-include=/root/of/mysql-includes
Same result. So then I diddled configure.in and got it to work. Patch
follows (it'll look familiar):
*** mysql++-1.7.23/configure.in 2004-12-07 11:59:00.000000000 -0800
