The list of libraries is given by mysql_config --libmysqld-libs.
It seems that some of them can be missing on various distributions.
For example libmysqld.a is missing on RedHat/Fedora.
I'll add additional check to configure to test if that library is realy present.

Note also that libmysqld.a is only necessary for embeded version
of MySQL driver (mesql) while mysql should compile without problems.

The mesql can be used without a server running (like dbf or sqlite).
I have not yet written documentation.
