Why don't we inconditionally enable it? I mean, we can just forget about
the version checking. If I understood well, mysql <= 5.0 enables
reconnection by default and >= 5.0 doesn't, so we can inconditionally
enable it and forget about future default behaviours. What do you think?

In fact, MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT option has been introduced in MySQL 5.0.13
to restore the capability to reconnect to server after inactivity.
Furthermore, the functionnality was partially broken before 5.0.19 and
this explains the two calls to mysql_option.
