#14 Making location of mysql_config configurable

[Geert Vanderkelen]

mysql_config should be in the $PATH, but that is not always the case. In fact, it's never the case on my machines :)

Especially when working on 20 versions 'at ones', one doesn't put mysql stuff in the $PATH.

I made some changes to the setup_posix.py file so it reads the option mysql-config and uses that one instead of the one in $PATH.

So, it works this way: update site.cfg with

[options]
mysql-config = /data1/mysql/5.1.15/bin/mysql_config

doing ./setup.py build, the one defined in site.cfg will be used.

Patch attached against 1.2.2b3.

Hope this helps!
