Okay I see. I also found this on the MySQL Embedded Forum:

"The embedded version of the server for the 5 series release will be
included in 5.1."

Okay.

Ah. I'm on FreeBSD, I just mentioned Gentoo because that's where I
usually look when I want to compare how things are packaged in FreeBSD
with how they're packaged in Linux distributions.

I will bug the FreeBSD port maintainers to set up the 5.1 package in
FreeBSD ports so that it installs the embedded library, once it is
stable enough.
