I'd be happy to receive a commit bit and help with the docs regarding 
DBD::mysql on Cygwin. The first thing I'd do is make the comments in 
DBD/mysql.pm and README point to INSTALL so that there is a single point 
of guidance regarding Cygwin installs.

Do changes pass through you? And if not, how do we assure that a 
potential collaborator (i.e. me) posts changes that are in harmony with 
the intentions of the primary maintainer (viz: you).

This would probably mean that I'd need to re-up for the Cygwin list and 
find out who is handling the Perl packages at that end. I have no idea 
why they down-graded Perl from 5.10 and when they are likely to come 
back with 5.10 again. This could be an issue and anyone doing docs for 
the community ought to be on top of the whole picture.

Maybe we could convince the Cygwin folks to include DBD::mysql in their 
setup offerings as they do with some of the other tricky packages.

David Vergin
