I scanned the post, it doesn't look like that post or any comments help on getting the mysql 
bindings to compile on a windows box.

Park Heesob and myself have been trying to figure out how-to get these to compile on windows. Park 
has a solution which can be found at:

http://groups.google.co.kr/group/comp.lang.ruby/msg/6b3a305604ee2299

He also posted a binary for the mysql.so

Also make note you need a cl.exe version of 13 (so .NET compatible), Visual Studio 6 doesn't seem to 
work.

I am having problems when running that w/rails. If anyone is able to get the mysql bindings to 
cleanly compile on windows and pass all tests please post to the list!
