That should be pretty simple - it's just a matter of adjusting the paths 
and tweaking the ucmd() method in builder.

It was just alot easier to do on unix for me.

the libgda driver for mysql needs to link against the libmySQl.dll, 
unfortunatly that dll didnt have a .def / .a file that mingw seemed to 
want.. - thats what it referes to - I didnt actually build the mysql 
client lib.. - just linked the libgda code against the mysql binary dll.
