Hi,

before including MSVC-specific changes I'd like to find out whether  
MinGW provides a library which is sufficient to link MSVC projects  
against. If not, the required changes can be applied to libdbi.  
However, we'd need a clean patch which provides the necessary changes  
without breaking other OSes. If you can provide such a patch, I'll be  
happy to review it and test it on other platforms.

regards,
Markus
