A different kind of static?

While actually trying to check for something completely different (more on that later maybe)
i found that mysql, mysqladmin and other client binaries in my MySQL 5.5 install dir did
not list libmysqlclient.so as a dependency in ldd output anymore. Looks as if since the
switch to Cmake it gets statically linked into all the bundled client libraries and so
increases binary sizes by a factor of about 10x now, and i can't see any Cmake build
option that would produce the old behavior either.

So my /usr/local/mysql-5.5.21/bin directory now uses 130MB instead of the 17MB that
the /usr/local/mysql-5.1.60/bin one used. Doesn't sound much by itself, but for
someone like me who tries to keep as many versions as possible installed in parallel
for testing purposes it sums up to several GB quickly, and it totally defies the
purpose of having a shared libmysqlclient.so in the first place ...
