FWIW, I've just tried running the tests.

In short, it seems to work fine on Windows 32-bit, although my MySQL 
server breaks a few minor unittests.

Details:

- Server: MySQL version "5.0.91-community-nt" (probably getting old but, 
meh, it's just for local testing) running on a Win7 64-bit box. I'm not 
sure if the MySQL server itself is a 32-bit or 64-bit version (don't 
recall, and the admin panel isn't telling me).

- Client 1: The same Win7 box, using DMD to compile a 32-bit exe.

- Client 2: Linux Mint 15, 32-bit VM (DMD again).

Everything behaved exactly the same between the two clients. Everything 
passed except for a few asserts in the "information_schema" section. 
There were two things that went wrong:

- For me, field.table was always empty string, on all 4 entries in the 
field list (instead of "information_schema" as expected).

- For me, the first two entries in the field list had lengths of 192, 
instead of 96 as expected.
