  Actually mysql 4.1 client is able to connect to mysql 4.0 server. I
  migrated our production servers to 4.1, with some databases still left
  in few 4.0, and applications are able to communicate with both
  versions via mysql 4.1 client.

  [amber] ~> mysql --version
  mysql  Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.13, for portbld-freebsd5.4 (i386) using
  4.3

  Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
  Your MySQL connection id is 44001 to server version: 4.0.25

  Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
