This has benefits and disadvantages.  As the author points out, this lets
you connect to MySQL databases from systems to which the MySQL client
libraries haven't been ported.  On the other hand, the MySQL wire protocol
is probably not part of the official external interface, so the author has
to track changes to the protocol.
