Thanks, we will look into this shortly.

There is two issues I can think of with using libdrizzle with MariaDB:

- The client api is not binary compatible with MySQL.
  This is a problem as we would like to be binary compatible with
  MySQL's client library so that anyone can just replace MySQL with
  MariaDB packages without having to recompile the clients.

- libdrizzle doesn't support, as far as I know, some MySQL features
  like prepared statements.
  Do you have a full list of what things are not supported in
  libdrizzle compared to libmysql?

I would also like to do a full benchmarks to compare libdrizzle with
libmysql to know how the libraries compare speedwise; I have already
asigned this task to hakan.
