Hmm... I believe I remember a post that mysql had been ported to Cygwin. Check
the archives and the ported packages information on the Cygwin pages at
sourceware.cygnus.com.

I wasn't aware that you were using a M$ built library.  Anders Norlander has a
program he's called pexports which is able to read a dll if you have the
headers and create a def file so that you can create an import library.  You
can find pexports at his URL of
http://www.acc.umu.se/~anorland/gnu-win32/index.html .

The caveat to this is that the Non-Cygwin mysql.dll won't understand the Cygwin
mounted paths.

Good Luck,
Earnie.
