Eh?  If you search the list archives, Gerrit P. Haase has had build
instructions for the 4.x client binaries for at least a year.  I think
he even has them packaged at a URL you can point setup.exe to.  I can't
seem to access his site anfaenger.de at the moment though.

I just tried building the client binaries from 5.0.3 and it compiled
cleanly out of the box.  It died trying to build one of the files in the
'tests' dir but it built a working libmysql and client binaries.  I used
"./configure -C
--without-{server,docs,man,bench,readline,debug,extra-tools}
--with-openssl && make".
