recent configure.exe in QT3_WIN32_3_3_BRANCH support sql driver. Out of the 
box is currently odbc available. mysql require a mysql client lib on windows. 
I don't know if such library is available yet. Another possibility may be

BTW: I have cc'ed this answer to the list, because this is an issue, which is  
interesting for others.
