You are correct; I found _mysql.so in the 
Resources/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload folder.  It's a universal binary.

I'm going to come back to this via another post -- sounds like Ned has 
found that the 5.1 distribution of MySQL really is a bit messed up, but 
the 5.0 one is OK.  So maybe if I just do this over with the 5.0 distro, 
it will work.
