Didn't thought about that. And yes, there are options. They are in
practice only used with the embedded-mysql version. And iven in that
case I guess they are rarely used: 

"The argc and argv arguments are analogous to the arguments to main(),
and enable passing of options to the embedded server. For convenience,
argc may be 0 (zero) if there are no command-line arguments for the
server. This is the usual case for applications intended for use only as
regular (non-embedded) clients, and the call typically is written as
mysql_library_init(0, NULL, NULL)."

So, what to do?
