Comment (by knutsp):

 The plugin now works also without PDO loaded. Nice!

 I suggest that PDO is the first priority only for PHP >= 5.4. For PHP <
 5.4 I suggest mysql has priority, then PDO as second. Don't change a
 winning team, and don't fix what isn't broken or not even undesired.

 For PHP 5.2 the stability of PDO should be examined. May be prefer mysqli
 over PDO in case there is no mysql extension.

 I any case, this task should enable the future WordPress to run on a PHP
 without the mysql extension, regardless of PHP version.
