Integrating that free macro into the autoconf process is the right way 
to do the first part of what you did.  This is in the Wishlist.

But before doing this change, we should move to using a config 
subdirectory, and moving all the configuration tests into that subdir, 
cleaning up configure.in.  This is also a Wishlist item.

Once that is done, some autoconf test for selecting libmysqlclient_r 
instead of the regular library should be added.

Patches thoughtfully considered for all of these, as always.

I'm probably going to make a MySQL++ release fairly soon, but if someone 
gets back to me saying that you're going to work on this, I'll hold the 
release until you finish your work.
