Hi Thomas,

in a buildroot defconfig with mysql enabled I would like to be able to
build Kodi without mysql support because I do not need it during runtime. 

Kodi can store its internal databases not only localy using sqlite but also 
on a mysql server, this allows several local Kodi machines to use the same 
databases. Because I do only use one Kodi instance I do not need mysql 
support and would like to reduce build time when testing/installing Kodi 
while not touching other packages.

Regards, Bernd
