Hallo Fabrice,

The native Windows server and clients default to TCP/IP, the Cygwin
versions default to using /var/mysql/mysql.sock, if you specify
`host=127.0.0.1` it will work with the Cygwin client too because it
will use TCP/IP then.

Look in the source where it is specified what to use as default,
or there should be a part guarded with `#ifdef WIN32` where is
specified to use TCP/IP.
