Ok so 801 doesnt exactally work on windows so Sesmar and I (Mostly sesmar) Applied the mysql patch provided by Aza and did some tweaking of our own (Sesmar mostly) And came up with a MYSql 5.xx version of the binaries for windows users please note in order for new account and character correctiosn the mysql database edits outlined above must be implemented in order to work...
Here is the binaries

there may be bugs we are still working on this but so far it seems stable and VERY VERY Fast when used with mysql 5.22
THANKS Sesmar for the assistance in the c++
EDIT: Also please backup your database/databases with mysql admin or some other tool before isntalling mysql 5 then import/restore the backup
