The switch to libmysqlclient_r was because the mysql driver of apr-util was going to be enabled and would cause a symbols conflict. MySQL 5.1 did not change the symbols and as such we still can't link to the non-reentrant library. > > Same goes for per-package configuration.

Sadly it is not that easy to accomplish, hence the need to support more configuration options.
