Thank you for your candor. Please, forgive any confusion I might have caused.

Not a "program", exactly. The main mysql.h header file (source code which is
critical part of Mysql Applications)
is not equipped to deal with certain types of development environments.

Yes and no. Yes, in that I am trying to find out if this particular issue has
come up given the current BT repository
as it stands today (latest snapshot would do just as well).
No in that I know that certain things (modifications) do not exist within the
copy of the mysql.h header file which is
included with the Windows binary download.
Things (patches-modifications) which would, imho, go a long way in expanding
the platform and general support
which is available for Mysql itself (the applications, both client and server) while
minimizing the impact on things like
the mysql client and server application modifications in terms of a specific type of
development environment. By
"type of development environment" I am referring to a Gnu & OpenSource piece of
software/application which
supports a form of the win32api runtime environment and includes minimal posix file
system support.
I hope this helps to clarify.
