Don't do that.

You need libraries for MySQL. Build them from the MySQL source, using:

./configure --without-server

Of course, you will have to get the native Windows server if you want to
run the server locally.

A caveat: MySQL for Windows uses named pipes to talk to local clients,
whereas the MySQL library you compile will want to use UNIX sockets. I
found the easiest way to get them talking was to always use a host of
127.0.0.1, forcing INET sockets. Under perl DBI, if you use "localhost,"
somebody decides to be smart and use UNIX sockets anyway.

An additional caveat: There is probably a better way to do the above.
Stipe?
