Update mysql4-{client,server} to 4.1.7 (latest production release).
MySQL version 4.1 offers dozens of important product enhancements
and new features, including support for:
* Subqueries and derived tables -- allowing users to search
complex data sets with greater ease and efficiency;
* A significantly faster and more flexible client-server protocol
with support for prepared statements, providing optimized query
execution and improved warning information;
* New GUI installer and configuration wizards for Linux and Windows,
making it easier for developers to set up and optimize their
MySQL databases;
* Encrypted client-server communication using OpenSSL (GPL),
greatly increasing security against malicious intrusion and
unauthorized access.
* A more highly-optimized MySQL server library with a smaller
memory footprint that performs significantly faster when embedded
in third-party software.
* Extensive Unicode support through the utf8 and ucs2 international
character sets for applications that require the use of local
languages;
* Industry-standard GIS spatial types for storing and managing
geographic data;
* Improved full text search and Help features.
