I'm glad you found this how-to good

if you install mysql 5 you probably need to recompile the mysql-php package to make it compatible with the new mysql. Also you need to compile mysql 5 yourself since it's not available in the ipkg repository.
mysql 4 is sufficient for almost anything tho, I never had any limitation problems with it
and it's quite lightweight compared to mysql5

other extensions need to be compiled, since there is no full ipkg support on all the packages.
