When I had to connect to MySQL4 using Ruby on WinXP couple weeks ago, I
just used ruby-mysql, the API written in Ruby. Included the mysql.rb fil
e in my program's directory and everything worked straight away.

May not be as fast as using the C API, but I was only doing simple stuff
anyway, and it was quick and painless.
