Apparently, this is a socket problem. You have no Unix socket on your
Windows MySQL server through which to connect. Try to use TCP/IP, by

After emailing with Mark Mathews, who had some very good suggestions, I
pulled down a copy of mysql and compiled just the libraries locally.
That went fairly well. I was able to create the libraries and include
files and succesfully link with them under CygWin.
