The mysql client code already contains everything needed for the patch
and this has been tested with the mysql clients and perl a long time
now. The only 'big' change is to add 2 more arguments to p_connect().
It should be very easy to make this completely safe in all cases when
one only uses the normal 2 arguments to p_connect(); In other words,
this should not break old code..

I don't know of any new build problems...
