+The mysql-embedded.SlackBuild produces a package containing
+a static libmysqld.a library (and some support files) that
+is required in order to build applications that embed a
+mysql server (such as amarok).  If you need to build such
+applications, first you'll need to use this SlackBuild to
+prepare a mysql package that contains embedded support and
+install it on your system.
