[ale] php/mysql install hell

[Benjamin Dixon]

My guess would be PHP just wants to know either where the header files for
mysql are or the libraries and will have little concern for client apps,
etc etc. Its been awhile since I compiled the latest PHP so I don't recall
exactly but located the libs and passing them on to php shouldn't be a
problem.
