Sorry, but I have no experience with MySQL. However, others on the list
do.

The above will most likely not work or at least be problematic. I
highly recommend linking against a Cygwin version if possible.

IIRC (from the Cygwin list), the client side works under Cygwin, but the
server side has (or had) issues. Since, Python should only need the
client side for an extension module, you should be fine.
