A while ago I had a similar situation with my host. PDO was there, but
the MySQL driver was missing. They told me I could log into my account
and compile the driver myself, but it didn't work because of some
missing library files. After some more complaints about that they
finally installed the driver on all of their servers ...

Yep, it works here without any problem on a Debian box. I always compile
my PHP from the sources. All it requires to compile the driver are some
header files for the MySQL client library, which are easily installed
using Debian's packet manager. Never had a problem with that, so
actually I don't know why some hosts refuse to install it.
