Interesting. When this comes up on the linux/bsd/unix side of things, I just tell people to either recompile against the latest mysql client libraries, or set the mysql server to accept the older passwords. But now with active state, it probably gets a little more complicated. My guess is that active state is packaging DBD::mysql with an older version of the mysql libraries, and I don't know if the new client libraries will talk to older versions of MySQL (Can anyone confirm this)?, but if it is the case that the newer mysql client libraries can't talk to the older versions of mysql, then active state would have to release two version of DBD::mysql, one compiled to talk 4.1.7 and one to talk to everthing else. Or activestate just says that you have to use the old passwords with 4.1.7 (Oh, and what about the shutdown changes?)
