Yes, you have to grab the source from php5. You'll have to point it to
the mysql config program that comes with MySQL => 4.1 Also, to get both
mysql and mysqli working, I had to configure mysqli as shared
(--with-mysqli=shared,/usr/local/mysql/mysql_config) We have not used
this in production yet (and I'm sure it's not recommended/supported),
but so far so good in our test enviroment.
