That's an interesting thought.

It would then make DBD::mysql more like DBD::SQLite, in that you can install a 
complete working MySQL-flavors driver for Perl without separately having to 
install any MySQL-flavor client library/package.

This also means that every time there is a new independent release of the 
bundled client libs, a corresponding DBD::mysql version should come out ASAP 
after so the Perl users are up to date.
