[Dovecot] configure problem with MySQL 4

[Laurent Papier]

Hi,
the configure mysql detection doesn't work with MySQL 4.0.x from MySQL AB.

Detail information:
dovecot 0.99.13, MySQL-devel-4.0.21-0 from MySQL AB.
./configure --with-mysql
...
checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no
checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... (cached) no

This version of MySQL need to be linked with '-lz'. The configure script check
for mysql both with and without '-lz' but the test result is cached ... so the
test with -lz failed.

The included patch helps me compiling dovecot (only check mysql with -lz). I
know that this workaround is not a general solution.

Full configure output and config.log available on demand.

Execpting this problem, dovecot works fine for us (RedHat, MySQL auth, maildir).
