[Samba] Samba with Mysql, compilation problem.

[(C)ollen]

pdb_sql.c is the new mysql backend name
(was pdb_mysql) so it does get compiled...
but this output shows that you still use 3.0.20.
and that's not the best version for mysql backends...!

i must note that i have made a small mistake regarding the
--enable-static=pdb_mysql.

it's --with-static-modules=pdb_mysql .!!
