I'm glad you care enough about this.  From previous discussions on the 
Fedora list, it seems mySQL 4 is not included because of a licensing 
issue.  The license has changed, and if the license stands, it will 
never be included in redhat.  However, I have a friend who now works at 
RedHat, and he is confident that RedHat will be able to get MySQL to 
bend or fork their license to meet redhat requirements in time.  For 
now, though, it is wise to either stick to mysql 3 code, or detect if 4 
is running and I appreciate that you are looking in that direction.
