The question is whether you can compile your own client(s) with this option.
In other words 'add to the list'.  I am not a coder so I do not understand
the full details of the document.  I just do not find a clear statement in
plain words (not code) that a client may be built with this option in
addition to the 2 that ship with MariaDB 5.3 and what the requirements are.

BTW: *Webyog* is NOT a *client*.  It is a *company.  Clients *are *SQLyog*
and *MONyog* (and the latter is actually also a *server* at the same time!
:-)
