Hacking MySQL 5!

I thought I'd take a crack at my Windows box first! This is a centrino 1.4GHZ with 512MB RAM running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2, running Visual Studio Beta 2005. I was able to compile MySQL 5.0.7 Beta both under debug and release. The client tools keep on crashing so I'm using the pre-compiled tools from v4.1 already installed on my machine. I'll tweak compiler settings to see if the client tools will work. I'm going to try to add a bunch of functions in the mysql core and will try to make them work. I'll post the diff outputs here.
