libmysqlclient and the clients build OOTB with recent versions of
Cygwin and MySQL (and yes, you need the source tarball, not the win32
binary). Look at the configure options, you'll have to run something
like:

./configure --without-server

This will build libmysqlclient.a and the statically linked clients.

You can also build a libmysqlclient.dll, but I didn't get round to
build the dynamically linked clients. But other apps using
libmysqlclient work just fine with the DLL.

Would anyone be interested to see this as a Cygwin package? I don't
know whether it is worth the hassle as Cygwin ships PostgreSQL.

regards,
Markus
