this is the reason why it makes no sense to me.  Here is the size of the 
libraries,

-rw-------   1 jicman mailguest     1685 Nov 10 23:59 libmysql.imp
-rw-------   1 jicman mailguest  1993078 Nov 10 23:59 libmysqlclient.a
-rw-------   1 jicman mailguest  1899136 Nov 10 23:59 libmysqlclient_r.a
-rw-------   1 jicman mailguest 12319666 Nov 10 23:59 libmysqld.a
-rw-------   1 jicman mailguest  1260254 Nov 10 23:59 libmystrings.a
-rw-------   1 jicman mailguest   766332 Nov 10 23:59 libmysys.a

and here is the include files,

-rw-------  1 jicman mailguest  27526 Nov 10 23:58 mysql.h
-rw-------  1 jicman mailguest  15042 Nov 10 23:58 mysql_com.h
-rw-------  1 jicman mailguest   1241 Nov 10 23:58 mysql_embed.h
-rw-------  1 jicman mailguest   1559 Nov 10 23:58 mysql_time.h
-rw-------  1 jicman mailguest    800 Nov 10 23:58 mysql_version.h
-rw-------  1 jicman mailguest  11315 Nov 10 23:58 mysqld_error.h


There should be a simple mysqllib tar file that will allow a --prefix option 
on the configure shell script to install the files using the prefix that the 
user wants to use.

This is why one should not need to install the full DB server or even client 
just to get these files.

Just a thought, of course. :-)
 I don't know how big the mysql libraries and include files are, but I don't 
think it should be more than database
