libmysqlclient-dev, libmariadb-dev

[rmuthukrishnan]

Hi, Thank you very much for this library. We have been using it for many years.

We were trying to move to reinstall the library in Ubuntu 20.04. We have libmysqlclient-dev installed. But during the installation of the ocaml-mysql library, we get the following message. If we install libmariadb-dev, then libmysqlclient-dev gets removed. Could you kindly help?

`#=== ERROR while compiling conf-mariadb.2 =====================================#

Hi,

I found that the following patches were needed so that it will work with MySQL 8.0. These patches are from libmysql-ocaml debian package.
