 Despite what I said before about conflicting variants, both `mysql4` and
 `mysql5` are obsolete; do not create variants for either of them. If it’s
 plausible that users might want to build SysBench without MySQL support,
 add a `mysql55` variant and declare a dependency on the `mysql55` port.
 You can set it as a default variant if you want (`default_variants
 +mysql55`). If you want to support MySQL 5.1 too, add a `mysql51` variant.

 Do not declare dependencies on ports that are not actually used by
 SysBench. Dependencies of dependencies are handled automatically.
