[Mono-osx] ODBC - MySql - Data source name not found

[FairgroundTown]

I never solved it :(

I found the source code to the mono class, but it is litterally a one-line
wrapper for the native code, and the "bug" is in there... or possibly in the
parts if the framework which actually execute the native call. Whatever, I
wasn't going to be able to fix it, so I'm ashamed to say that I gave up, and
paid-out for a copy of parallels so I could do it in Windows.
