I would probably just use

  (defsystem ...
    :depends-on (:clsql-mysql)
    ...)

and leave search path configuration outside the system definition
file. (It's not going to be portable between different installations
anyways.)

Just document the fact that mysql libraries need to be set up right
(in LD_LIBRARY_PATH), or by user requiring :clsql-sys and pushing the
path onto *F-L-S-P* prior to trying to use your system.

(How do CLSQL users generally configure it? Is there maybe a
.clsql.lisp you can stick in $HOME, or something like that?)
