YA: yet another. A strong indication that mysql_config isn't the first  
of its kind.

foo-config: config script shipped with the foo package. You invoke it  
in your Makefile or in configure to insert the proper -L, -I, and -lib  
options in your gcc invocations. This way it's not the configure  
script of packages that use foo, but the foo package itself that  
figures out how to invoke the compiler/linker properly and where to  
find the dev files shipped with foo.

regards,
Markus
