Just like the package in 4.5 CentOS, adding mysql is very simple and easy
to repackage as an rpm. Just install SRPM then patch the postfix.spec as
shown below and build the rpm. Will make the following rpms:

postfix-2.3.3-2.mysql.el5.i386.rpm
postfix-pflogsumm-2.3.3-2.mysql.el5.i386.rpm

Might not be named right but will work.
