Not sure who the original poster was, as I came in late.  I use MySQLdb
heavily from Python (on Linux).  As for the link error on Windows:

    LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol init_mysqlmodule

the initialization function defined in _mysqlmodule.c is named "init_mysql",
not "init_mysqlmodule", at least in v. 0.2.2.  I'm not using 0.3 yet.  You
might try renaming it.  Also, you might try replacing the "void" return type
of init_mysql with "DL_EXPORT(void)" (see Modules/regexmodule.c for an
example).
