I just got done beating my head against the wall for a few hours trying 
to get VC++ to make a DLL version of MySQL++.  If any of you think 
you're up to the task, it would help people to comply with the project's 
license (LGPL) if we could make this happen.

In the soon-to-be-released version 1.7.25, platform.h contains the 
necessary definitions.  See the DLLEXPORT stuff.  These macros work just 
fine for the simpler classes and functions, but I lack the VC++ Fu 
necesary to make it work for cases like SQLQuery, which derives from 
std::stringstream.

This feature is worth two gold stars to the person who pulls it off.  :)
