Comment (by sc0ttkclark):

 Seems like we'd want to check if the function `mysql_connect` exists
 before calling it in that else statement for `wpdb::db_connect()`. If it
 does not exist, call `$this->bail()` if `$allow_bail` is true and pass it
 the error message saying MySQL is not available or whatever we want that
 text to be. Otherwise if `$allow_bail` is false then return false.

 For testing this, I'm not sure of a great way to do this but that's
 because I haven't ever tried to do that kind of test case.
