If libmysql is required, should the instructions and/or the gem 
installation bring to the attention of the user this requirement?

I found libmysql at 
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mirror.php?id=377978#mirrors

I selected San Jose: 
http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-C/mysql-connector-c-noinstall-6.0.2-win32.zip/from/http://mysql.he.net/

and then unzipped the archive.  The question I have is what do to with 
this download.  Are there any instructions on how to call 
"mysql_config.exe", or should this staged unzipped archive be referenced 
from ruby?

I feel like I'm shooting in the dark and apparently have missed a 
critical howto or installation guide.
