Build mysql 4.1 from source, using --prefix=/usr/local/mysql4.1 for
example. Run a make DESTDIR=/tmp/mysql install test first, to make sure
no files are installed outside the prefix. If there are files that don't
obey the prefix, manually put them in place and add a "4.1" suffix to
distinguish them from rpm installed files. 

Examine the output of ./configure --help for any parameters that are
useful.
