Comment (by ctreleaven@…):

 OK, it is a trivial patch to get it working with MariaDB:

              "mysql56"
              "port:mysql56"
              "${prefix}/include/mysql56/mysql"

 }}}

 BUT, as patched, the mariadb55 variant becomes the default variant (since
 it is first) to a port named "qt5-mysql-plugin".  Clearly that is more
 than a little odd--one would expect mysql56 or mysql57 to be the default.
 OTOH, AFAICT, I'm the first one to be relying on this port as a
 dependency.  If my mariadb55 variant is the default, it will be pre-
 compiled, etc.

 OTOH, I think it would be preferable if the qt5-xxx-plugin's did not use
 variants--use more subports, instead. So there would be
 qt5-mysql56-plugin, qt5-mysql57-plugin, qt5-mariadb55-plugin, etc.
 Restructuring that is beyond my pay grade.

 I'd like to move ahead with this.  If I don't hear anything shortly, I'm
 going to commit the simple patch.  It can always be changed or reverted.
