The configure script as it currently stands will not search exactly in
the specified path if you use --with-mysql-lib option to specify where
MySQL client libraries are; it always looks in subdirectories of that.
This is a problem on, for example, Fedora Core 3 on x86_64, where you
want it to look in /usr/lib64/mysql but there is no way to specify this.
Attached is a patch to configure.in which rectifies this by adding the
exactly specified path alongside the existing ones. For the sake of
completeness it also adds exactly specified path check to
--with-mysql-include.
