I'd bet that most MySQL++ users aren't building GPL licensed programs, 
so I don't have a good enough reason to chase this myself.

(Statically linking to MySQL++ requires LGPL, but it implies static 
linking to the MySQL C API library, which requires GPL, unless you've 
purchased a commercial use license.)

You're welcome to submit a patch for consideration.
