The old Oracle connector no longer works due to code changes in component
handling in the 3.5.x development cycle, and library versions for the mysql
connector libraries (which have been bumped), it needs to be rebuilt by someone
on Windows, having a build environment and then made available on the
Extensions site.

As the connector extension does not form part of the standard release build, it
will not be built by the buildbots, and therefore not be available in the
general downloads of LibO (it isn't anyway, and never was, not even with OOo).

So this is not really a LibO bug because the connector, which was always built
separately, needs to be rebuilt for Windows users. None of the developers seem
particularly interested in providing the connector, which is why I had built
them for Mac and Linux 32bit (my build environments). I don't have a Win build
environment, so someone else will have to do it if Windows users want a
connector that works.

As for MariaDB, Monty Widenius has promised support for new client libraries
that could be used in a new MariaDB connector (that may or may not be included
as a default) - however, that code is not yet available (to my knowledge).
