How can one conditionally drop an index in MySQL?

Googling shows that the "drop index" does not support an "if exists" qualifier 
- apparently a bug
has been raised but as far as I know its not fixed yet.

Does anyone know of a work-around?

TIA - Adam


Sent my first response late at night and not the community... And the
response  also sucked.
DROP INDEX is mapped to ALTER TABLE tbl_name
 DROP INDEX.
ALTER IGNORE TABLE tbl_name
 DROP INDEX ought to be functionally equivalent to IF EXISTS. What is your goal?
