mysql 5.7 changes lib_r from mysqlclient_r to mysqlclient which causes badly
created packages to fail due to missing -lmysqlclient_r

One such port is qt4-mysql-plugin but I expect there are more.

This could be fixed with cleaver workarounds in each port or upstream changes
so they use mysql_config to determine correct link settings, but that's quite
invasive and time consuming, so it may be better to patch mysql57-client to
create a symlink between libmysqlclient_r.so and libmysqlclient.so.
