I think SQLite is designed to be embedded rather than standalone. Can that even be done with MySQL or PostgreSQL? I read something a few months ago about the MySQL guys working on an embeddable version, but I thought that was for MySQL 5. I could be mistaken, though.
Where did you hear about PHP 5 removing the bundled MySQL client library? That's news to me - it seems downright bizarre considering the popularity of PHP/MySQL as a scripting/database platform.
I, too am excited about PHP 5, especially the way they'll be adding much more mature and sophisticated options in the OO arena. Hopefully that will start to bring a little more respect for the idea of PHP being used for enterprise level projects.
EDIT: I guess I didn't really understand what you meant by "client libraries" at first... Maybe this isn't so severe as I thought. http://www.php.net/...databases.mysql.php5
