I *am* surprised.

No - not all. Didn't say that; didn't imply it.
I just thought that the subset of MySQL-related features were entirely
within the PHP binaries.
I guess I now know why PHP with MySQL support has to be compiled to
include the MySQL libraries.
Personally - I'm a recovering Microsoftie, so this whole thing about
compiling and recompiling other people's applications, with other other
people's applications still totally blows me away.
