Chris,

Thanks for all the work on this.  And nice summary!  Just one comment:

Putting it out on the web isn't worth, IMHO.  I fear it would turn into 
YAPackage that doesn't get updated and eventually causes more trouble 
than it's worth.  Looking back over Joe's experience, my take it that 
the root cause of nearly all of the difficulties was the faulty MySQL 
5.1.30 distribution, which of course he had no reason to assume was bad.  
If he had been lucky enough to start with the 5.0 dist he ended up with 
and followed the standard install of MySQLdb, the MySQL part of his app 
building would have been straightforward.

I think documenting the problem with 5.1.30, which we've done in the 
pythonmac world and on the MySQL tracker, and if necessary "encouraging" 
a resolution over at MySQL are sufficient actions for now.

In any case, just my $0.02.
