Riverbot (riverbot.com) uses a simple FFI wrapper to connect to MySQL. 
The problem with this approach is a) you have to compile the module 
before using it and b) you have to hack the file to fit your version of 
mysql.h.  So I did this once and stopped worrying about it years ago.

Those files can be found here:
