Upstream seems to think this will be dangerous for a number of reasons, mostly I think because they do not test the client in this configuration. Apparently the mysql client uses some private API bits from libmysqlclient and so this is not even safe technically.

I think we'll probably just have to ship the client statically linked unless upstream blesses this. :-/
