Mysql 4.1+ and PHP 4.3.9 -> unable to connect to database

It seems that starting with version 4.1, MySQL uses some new password 
hashing for its user passwords, which is incompatible with the mysql
client library included with PHP 4.3.9 (and earlier) - at least on
Windows.

So when you do a fresh installation of MySQL 4.1 and specify a root
password for it, you won't be able to install Xaraya (or connect to
a database in general from PHP) unless you apply one of the following
measures : http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Old_client.html
