179	Enable support for MySQL and PostgreSQL plugins	rudi		"It turns out, that these two database plugins can be build quite nicely. We should at least offer ""configure"" support for them (if not even ship binary versions). Here is, what I did to compile them:

Added to  src\plugins\sqldrivers\mysql\mysql.pro

{{{
    os2 {
        TARGET_SHORT = qmysql
        LIBS += -lmysqlclient_r -lpthread -llibssl -llibcrypto
    }
}}}

Then run:

{{{
qmake ""INCPATH+=<mysql_path>\include\mysql"" ""LIBPATH+=<mysql_path>\lib""

make
}}}

I couldn't find a clear statement, if the ""reentrant"" version of the MySQL client library is really necessary when used in the context of a Qt plugin. If not, it would remove the dependency from pthread.

For PostgreSQL the change in  src\plugins\sqldrivers\psql\psql.pro
could look like this:

{{{
   os2 {
       TARGET_SHORT = qpgsql
       LIBS += -llibpq -llibssl -llibcrypto
   }
}}}

And the qmake/make command being similar.

In both cases the resulting plugins depend on OpenSSL. I'm not sure, if we should make the selection of the SSL libs a config option so that the user can also build the plugins with SSL linked in statically. But as I wrote in #167, I would prefer the DLL approach.

BTW, I did a quick test only with MySQL. I don't have PostGreSQL running here.
