I am afraid it doesn't. Normally I guess it would but with mysql, we use
pre-compiled binaries so mysql_config is not aware of the location is
unpacked, since it is build during compile time.

It is not that my patch adds functionality, it is merely about an
inconsistency:

currenly if you specify --with-mysql=/compile/mysql-5.1.63
then MYSQL_lib_check would cover
/compile/mysql-5.1.63/lib/mysql
/compile/mysql-5.1.63/lib

Whereas MYSQL_inc_check would only cover
/compile/mysql-5.1.63/include/mysql

So it does not check /compile/mysql-5.1.63/include, this is what the
patch adds.

FYI, we normally compile packages (libaries) as static libraries
typically with:

./configure --prefix=/compile/foo-$version --disable-shared
make
make install DESTDIR=/tmp

Then make a tarball and have someone with root-privileges unpack it.
This allow us to have multiple versions available on a single
compile server.
