Err, half the reason of switching to scandir-based configuration was so
that we wouldn't actually NEED extra packages for this.  mysqli should
be able to be rolled back into mysql, and pdo_mysql should also ship in
the php5-mysql package.  The config file would just contain an
"extension=" line for each extension we ship, and away we go.

That way, the packages are split based on "stuff they link to", rather
than a 1:1 mapping of extension:package.
