Interestingly, I got idoutils and libdbd working by linking to
a set of MySQL libraries -- and it seems to work -- by gently hacking
some bits out that look to be MySQL 5.0-specific and then pointing
the results at a running MySQL 5.0 instance. The caveat here is that
the MySQL 5 instance must have the icinga user credentialed using the
"OLD_PASSWORD()" function so it soesn't try to use the newer hashes.
As I say, this seems to be working -- there's about 24 hours on the
run clock a of this writing, without any known errors, but I should
also mention that I probably would not recommend it for a production
instance.
Michael -- I'll take another go at the git (why is it that every
time I see that I want to put "stupid" in front of it?) documentation
and see if I can get that built -- and working -- on my paleolithic
iron here at home. Barring that, I'll bundle up the patches I made
to ido2dc.c and send them off to you; they should be harmless at best
to the casual user and helpful at worst to folks who need to do deep
debugging.

I'm still studying the code to understand the author's intent;
once I divine that, I'll see what I can do.

Yes, every once in a while expediency trumps rigour, which is
understandable enough, but rigour in the long run tends to reduce
the number of times one must do the expedient thing to make something
work.

I'll take a look.
Cheers!
