doesn't find MySQL on webserver configure and install

The documentation for the Roxen webserver does not indicate how to do a configure so that Pike can find non-standard MySQL installations with Roxen webserver 2.2.252. MySQL is on the machine but the documentation does not specify how to have Pike configure find it, and configure does not seem to have any switches to specify where it is. Setting LDFLAGS and CFLAGS does not work, though they are picked up by configure, configure ignores them and the webserver will not run saying that Pike needs to be rebuilt with MySQL support built in. This is a HIGH severity because it means that the server does not run at all on such machines, making it useless.
I have asked this question and for help for several weeks on the roxen mailing list and no one even answers. This is causing us great problems.
We need to build our own Roxen on FreeBSD 4.2 since Roxen still has threading bugs that cause it to hang often when CGIs run so we need to build it with threading support off, as in 2.1, which also had this problem.
