In recent versions they're the same (ie it's all threadsafe now) so this
should only be an issue on older systems..

libmysqlclient_r still exists for legacy code, but is now just a symlink to
libmysqlclient. Possibly it'd disappear at some point.

I can't remember if that change was in 5.5 or 5.1 though, and there would
be plenty of 5.0/5.1 systems around still. But since libmysqlclient18 (5.5)
is threadsafe and can connect to older servers a simple way to enforce it
would be to require that as a minimum version perhaps.

There's also the mysql_config binary, which has a --libs_r option. Only
using that one should ensure on all versions that only the thread-safe
library is used.
