i did some more digging into mysql client/server protocol versioning and
it looks like that hasn't changed in a long time, so maybe there aren't
any gotchas by using the older client library to talk to the newer
server. the biggest thing i could find is that 5.5 supports extra
authentication methods that 5.0 or 5.1 clients might not work with. the
phpmyadmin warning may cause some client moaning, but i guess i can
always disable that :-).
