>"no support for dlopen()" .  How does this apply to Windows clients?  We always build first on Windows and once we have no errors of any kind we build on Linux if the application exists for that platform (what MONyog does and SQLyog does not) and fix what issues may occur there.

Peter,
Out client library is able to load plugins, whether it is linked statically or shared with  the executable is not very important. what serg refers to is -DHAVE_DLOPEN preprocessor constant. dlopen()  on Windows trivially translates to LoadLibrary().

Not really. If the cleartext plugin is built and installed, it'll be
used when the server requests it.

I've just checked that this plugin is present both in rpm and deb
packages. I didn't check binary tarballs, but it should be there too.

So, there's nothing to configure at run-time or compile-time, everything
should work automatically and transparently.

Hmm, unless you build a completely static client library with no support
for dlopen().

Sergei
