Btami would be best to answer these.  I dont think 0.4.99 was ever tested
on windows.  I would say your best bet is to fall back to 0.4.3 or beg
btami to bundle up cvs nightlies for you for windows.  I say this because
there is new NATIVE win32 support coming in 0.5.0 and it needs testing.

If you are using MySQL just because you cant get postgres working, it
would really help us if you wanted to test SAP-DB on windows.  I believe
it has a very straight forward windows install and decent tools to
graphically manage it.  The database is much more robust.  Also, we have
SAP-DB employees willing to help out with driver issues if we encounter
problems.
