Groovy.  I'm glad someone is adding Win32 support.

I don't know of any way to support backwards compatibility.
 Maybe SWIG has #ifdef-like functionality?  Anyway, I don't
think it is worth supporting MySQL 3.x now that 4.0 is out
and (seems to be) in wide-spread use, so no objections from
me if you remove those definitions.

Can anyone comment on usage of MySQL 3 vs 4?  I'd be
interested to know which is more popular.
