[ale] php/mysql install hell

[Jim Philips]

If I configure with the --with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql option then the
compile fails. That's where the headers are. If I shorten the option to
/usr then the compile succeeds, but any PHP referencing MySQL will seg
fault.

This is MySQL 3.23.47 and PHP 4.1.0 on a RedHat 7.2 system.
