Summary: genxref --reindexall with MySQL causes unknown table error

Initial Comment:
Running   genxref --reindexall   when using MySQL 4.x produces an unkonown table error from mysql server.

Using the syntax suggested at this site
http://www.portfolioofpb.com/blog/mysql-sql-error-unknown-table-in-MULTI+DELETE-solved

I modified lib/LXR/Index/Mysql.pm to use the correct syntax for mysql 4.x

Message:
OK, I'll check to see if proposed change is "universal".
If not, since this part of LXR is rather object oriented, I'll create
another DB backend which could be selected through the 'dbname' config
parameter: using :mysql4: instead of plain :mysql:

Message:
Maintaining compatibility with MySQL 4.x is useful as there are plenty of
places still running this.

Does the proposed change work on 5.x - if so it seems it would be worth
keeping this in the main trunk.

Message:
MySQL 4.x ended 31 December 2010. Consequently is there still a need for
including this correction in the main line?

If somebody does need it, please resubmit and I'll create a (short lived)
branch in the CVS.
