Try to get a more recent source RPM from a repository, and
then tweak the spec file to fit your needs.  The Fedora builds will
support MySQL by default.  It'd be easier than trying to write
your own spec file from scratch.  The current version in Fedora 7
is 1.1.6, and 1.1.7 is available in the development repo.  (I am 
running 1.1.7 built from the devel source RPM.)
