Hi,

I've done some small changes to the mysql-win port, so i was able to compile
libmysqlclient with mingw, suitable for cross-compiling mysql apps from unix
to windows. I saw that some people are interested in this, so i'm releasing
it for public. The URL is:

http://doga.go.cz/ports.html

Feel free to send me any comments or bug reports on this. 

Thanks,

Jan Dvorak <johnydog@go.cz>

There are many ports of zlib, i'm using that at:

I'll provide link in package in future releases.
