The connectors I originally put up did work with 3.3.x, and 3.4.x (or so
I thought, at least they did on my system), but somewhere along the line
in the run up to 3.5, something got changed, and that has f****d up the
compatibility of the connectors with previous versions such that the
ones I have recently uploaded (and overwritten over the initial
connectors) only work on 3.5. I suspect that it has something to do with
the mysql libraries that got a version bump and the changes in passive
component registration, such that it will now only produce a usable
connector on 3.5.

I never wrote a wiki page for this or anything like it, since it kept
moving all the time - one day it would build, the next not, and as it
was being worked on, there was no real point.

I have just put a note that the connectors currently available on the
extensions website are only known to work with 3.5, and that even that
may be library version specific.
