MySql connectivity on Windows - state of the art

Hello people,

I'm going to ask a simple question, I took a look at the list  
archives and didn't find any clear answer to this.

On the page at http://www.zope.org/Products/DA/ZODBCDA/

I see a software for connecting Zope to MySql on win32 platforms but  
I see the latest release has been in 2001 !

Is ZODBCDA actually working , now ?

I also took a look at this: http://www.pastrytech.com/willy/ 
zopemysql.html
and it really scares me a bit. That make seem connecting to mysql is  
not to be supposed easy.

Is there any alternative to get Zope connected to MySql on Windows  
machines ?

Thanks so much for any help

Catonano
