From what I've seen all these years, most of the time php and mysql bundled 
applications such as phpnuke, mambo, joomla, etc they all state: use 
mysql 'at least' version blabla. So the newer the mysql 'usually' the better.

It's the whole different thing regarding backward compatibility. Of course 
it's a pointless bad habit installing a web program that clearly 
states 'require at least mysql 5.x.x' into mysql 4.x.x :)

May I know the name of the library management program? KOHA?
