Yes, but I like to use sed, because I like to have to
remember fifteen different formats of regexps :)

Hmm. I'm not sure what the `correct' way to deal with this
is. I would hope it's possible to get by without an
explicit `does -lmysqlclient require -lz?' test. Does the
new MySQL come with a script like gnome-config or whatever
which you can call to find out with which libraries you
need to link?
