Subject: [PATCH 1/1] configure.ac: attempt mysql_config to find the MySQL
 headers.

When building with MySQL support, the configure script guesses that
the path to the MySQL headers is /usr/include/mysql. That is usually
correct, but when people install MySQL to a nonstandard location such
as /home/mjo/usr, it falls over. Fortunately, MySQL usually provides
an executable called "mysql_config" that can output the location of
its headers.

In such a "local" installation, if I prepend /home/mjo/usr/bin to my
PATH, then running "mysql_config" will execute the mysql_config from
/home/mjo/usr/bin and will therefore output -I/home/mjo/usr/include as
the preprocessor flag that glpk needs. That's the right thing to do,
and it works just as well for a system install under /usr or
/usr/local.

This commit attempts to find the headers using mysql_config first,
and falls back to the location /usr/include/mysql.
