There are several of us working on updating the RMySQL binary for 
windows.  Currently one has it compiled with mysql 5.0.18, but can't get 
it to compile with 5.0.41.  I am having trouble with 5.0.22,  5.0.24, 
and 5.0.37 mysql binaries.  There seems to be some problems with 
different versions of mysql.  As soon as we have a tested version of the 
windows binary for RMySQL, information for obtaining it will be posted.

We all appreciate you patiences.

Thank you
Joe
