[Samba] Samba with Mysql, compilation problem.

[MARTIN Pierre]

Hello again Collen and everybody.

I just tryed to make 3.0.09 compile pdb_mysql with no success.
Can somebody please can tell me where to find the 3.0.11 version so i 
can make it as Collen has it (Because i was not able to make it with 
3.0.14 default debian version, neither 3.0.09 neither 3.0.20... doh!) ?

Thanks a lot.
Pierre
