[Mysqlcppapi-main] ANNOUNCE: MySQL C++ API (mysqlcppapi) branch 1.7.1 released

[Murray C. <mu...@us...>]

MySQL C++ API (mysqlcppapi):

The first version of the 'MySQL C++ API' branch of the MySql++ project has
been released. You can download it from mysqlcppapi.sourceforge.net. This
branch was created in order to continue development of the library.

Changes:
So far the only changes are a major overhaul of the project files, including a
fix of an installation bug. Code improvements should follow. I have a version
in CVS which puts everything in a namespace but that can wait until the next
version.

* Changes at start of branch from MySql++ 1.7
  - Changed name to 'MySQL C++ API' (mysqlcppapi)
  - Changed to v1.7.1
  - Changed sqlplus directory to mysqlcppapi
  - Change sqlplus.hh to mysqlcppapi.hh
  - Made --with-mysql configure argument mandatory and
    improved explanatory text.
  - Removed "mysql++" header
  - All headers are now in mysqlcppapi directory.
    e.g. #include "mysqlcppapi/mysqlcppapi.hh".
  - Moved doc generation scripts from sqlplus directory
    to docgen directory - How do these work
  - Added mysqlcppapi-config script and AM_PATH_MYSQLCPPAPI macro
  - Added bad_query.hh to list of headers so that it installs.
  - Examples now need to be built by cd to examples and
    typing make. This allows for simpler project files.
  - Used GENERIC_* variables in configure.in instead of .version
    file. Now has release version indicating level of changes
    in interface.
  - Added explanatory comments to project files.
  - Changed licence to definitely be LGPL instead of grudgingly
    LGPL.
  - Removed some files from sqlplus directory, because they do not
    seem to be used: down.gif icon1.gif, icon2.gif, logo.gif
  - Moved some other files from sqlplus directory to a docgen
    directory in docs directory, because they look like they might
    be something to do with documentation, but I don't know.
    Hopefully somebody knows how the document generation works.
  - Added Makefile.am files to all folders to make sure that
    'make dist' works and includes everything.
  - Removed config.cygwin and makefile.win because they are
    obviously incorrect now. If anybody needs them then they
    can tell us what they are for and how to re-generate them.
