I actually couldnt get it compiled + ended up tunneling 3306 instead w/ ssh
...

I cant remember what the exact problem was but someone said the flag was
inoperable (< 4.0) and that the mysqli extension in PHP5 w/ > 4.1 was the
way (only way I think) to go ... which I still find kinda odd because Im
*sure* someone setups up MySQL w/ SSL (or everyone installs it localhost)
...

I had the same problem, an admin tool installed locally on a laptop ->
remote server and just opened the tunnel before running the tool.  I think
there are just presumptions that the db and scripting language will end up
on the same box :-\
