Hi, Jeroen!

mingw is not the officially supported platform for connector-c, and we
don't build or test on it internally.

But if you provide us with a patch, we'll be happy to apply it.

>From what I remeber about mingw issues in earlier MySQL days, the fix
could be something like

- #ifdef _WIN32
+ #if defined(_WIN32) && !defined(__MINGW__)

in selected places.
