Its only purpose is to contain boring support code for the examples. Your own programs will almost certainly want to do everything this library does differently. If it were interesting or generally useful, it would be part of the MySQL++ library proper, and thus documented and supported. If you feel you must link to it, you're on your own to get it working.
