The documentation at http://www.mono-project.com/MySQL strongly suggests
that MySQL's Connector/NET should be used in preference to the ByteFX
driver that ships with Mono.

However the current release of MySQL Connector/NET (1.0.5) appears to be
Windows-specific; it attempts to make native calls into some ws2_32.dll
and fails to work on Mono on eg Linux or Mac OS X.

Do we know if this is just a packaging bug (MySQL forgot to build a
portable-friendly binary?) or if MySQL is specifically abandoning Mono
and cross-platform compatibility?

Should Mono's online documentation be updated to reflect this?
