Python extension modules with different minor versions are incompatible 
on Windows. Trying to cheat by copying files around won't change that ;-)

The more interesting question is when MySQL AB will make their so-called 
Free Software be able to be compiled with free compilers like mingw. You 
still need Microsoft Visual Studio to build MySQldb on Windows.

Anyway, as usual I've made the binaries and sent them to Andy Dustman. 
They should show up during the next days at the Sourceforge download page.
