A mixture of 5.4 and 6.0 (new installs currently get 6.0, I plan on
checking 6.1 and making it the default in the coming weeks or so).

A mixture of 4.1 and 5.0, new installs get 5.0.

These are 'older' installations, being stable in their current setup, so
no real need to bump a major version number on them.

Yes (also rolling my own packages from them, when needed).

libthr on 6.0. Some minor performance improvements over libpthread, but
combined with some tweaks in my-huge.cnf copied over to /etc/my.cnf,
this can be quite a difference from a default install.

(On 4.x I used LinuxThreads, I saw no real need to try them on 5.x or
6.0)

BUILD_STATIC & BUILD_OPTIMIZED

None at the moment.
