Ok, first of all: really, do use linux. It's not THAT bad for a home machine ;)
Now, the solution is quite simple as it is documented. Just copy the file 'libmysql.dll' to your %WINDIR% folder and all should work. If it doesn't, take libmysqli.dll as well. While you're at it, you might as well copy all .dll's from the footdir of the zippackage to your %WINDIR%, windows can't be hurt anymore than it already hurts and it'll save you some hassle next time you want to enable another extension.
I believe the installation instructions have been updated so that copying files to the windows directories are not recommended or needed anymore. May want to consult the manual once again (but Apache not finding libmysql.dll is your problem).
