--------------------------------------+-------------------------
 Ubuntu is introducing mysql 5.-7 into the 16.04 archive shortly:
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1528583

 Unfortunately mythtv doesn't compile against it properly.
 The configure check for mysql/mysql.h under mythplugins fails when
 compiling against mysql-5.7.

 This happens because <mysql/mysql.h> includes "mysql/client_plugin.h".
 mysql/mysql/client_plugin.h includes <mysql/plugin_auth_common.h>.  The
 actual location of plugin_auth_common.h is
 /usr/include/mysql/mysql/auth_plugin_common.h.  Of course this isn't part
 of the default search path so it leads to a failure.

 This is the most obvious failure that affects MythTV.
 There are all sorts of instances that they're expecting /usr/include/mysql
 to be on the search path in the headers.

 This can be fixed by adding a -I/usr/include/mysql to the header check and
 to the mythzmserver search path for includes.
