If you are only building clients then technically you only need  
libmysqlclient, but if you are developing a C app that accesses the  
structures and information in the response from mysqlclient you may  
need the other (libmystrings particularly).

If you want to develop or add a storage engine to existing setup,  
then you need all the other libraries *except* libmysqlclient.
