Which general library? We are talking about mysqlnd which is obviously
only for MySQL.
And what do you mean by "all builds" ?
We don't do builds, the distributions do builds and we can't really
control what they choose to include by default, but most of the ones I
have seen have a separate php-mysql package.
I guess you may be exclusively talking about Windows builds and that has
absolutely nothing to do with our current discussion of whether
--with-mysql should point to libmysql or libmysqlnd by default.
