Probably because they don't have the time to get the latest and greatest client library every time. I'm not sure how to rebuild it on Windows but you can disable the built in on unix and rebuild it linking in the latest library.

After reading your suggestion, it makes more sense when I look at the output of phpinfo() which says that mysql is "builtin" and the Client API version is 3.23.49,...why?! I guess it was a bad assumption on my part that a fresh install of mysql would include all new versions?! Or is this "builtin" 3.23.49 part of my Apache installation that shipped with my laptop? If anyone can shed some light on how to update that part of it, I'd greatly appreciate it! I'd hate to have to go through these extra steps every time!
