I would have done this by checkking for GCC also ;-) It's quite ok for
the moment, I think

These are almost the changes I had already made to make it compile
here, so I should have committed my changes. And not only taking about
it to keep you busy ;) I apologise for that!
And - great! - the database support can be disabled now! thanks! Now I
can at liest build on Solaris again.
But (you know, there are some persons out there that are never
satisfied, they always have to grumble) what about having the option
to specify the location for mysql_config and pg_config if it's not on
the path? It could be done via '--with-mysql-config=/opt/mysql/bin':
mysql_conf_path=""
enable_mysql="yes"
AC_ARG_WITH(mysql,
[ --with-mysql=Path
Path to search for mysql_config],
[if test "$withval" = "no"; then
enable_mysql="no"
else
mysql_conf_path=$withval
fi],
[enable_mysql="no"])
...
if test "$enable_mysql" = "yes"; then
AC_PATH_PROG(MYSQ_CONFIG,mysql_config,[],$mysql_conf_path)
....
This will allow to switch of mysql by '--without-mysql' and to have a
mysql_config in a location not on the path
'--with-mysql=/opt/mysql/bin'
Same for PostreSQL..
Shall I commit these changes?
