  By using the <option role="configure">--with-mysql[=DIR]</option>
  configuration option you enable <literal>PHP</literal> to access MySQL
  databases. If you use this option without specifying the path to MySQL,
  <literal>PHP</literal> will use the built-in MySQL client libraries. With
  PHP 4 MySQL support is always enabled; if you don't specify the configure
  option, the bundled libraries are used. Users who run other applications
  that use MySQL (for example, running PHP 3 and PHP 4 as concurrent apache
  modules, or auth-mysql) should always specify the path to MySQL:
  <option role="configure">--with-mysql=/path/to/mysql</option>.
  This will force <literal>PHP</literal> to use the client libraries installed
  by MySQL, avoiding any conflicts.
