Description:
------------
Using DB 1.7.1 and DB 1.7.4
The extra dsn param 'new_link' is only valid for PHP >=4.2.0
But no check is made in mysql.php (as there is for 'client_flags' so on PHP 4.1.0 ( :-( my host is out of date) it causes a 'Wrong parameter count for mysql_connect' error.

Reproduce code:
---------------
Commenting out the lines:

if (isset($dsn['new_link'])
&& ($dsn['new_link'] == 'true' || $dsn['new_link'] === true))
{
$params[] = true;
} else {
$params[] = false;
}

fixes the error, but it would be better to test for PHP version...
