I made it work with some minor changes. I've gotten back a couple of query
results, that's as far as I've tested. The timeout condition has
definitely not been tested. But it shows that the impact of the 3.6 
socket changes might not be too far reaching on the MySql driver.


	socket _ Socket new    "was SimpleClientSocket"

		connectTo: (connectionSpec host)

		port: (connectionSpec port).

	(socket waitForConnectionFor: Socket standardDeadline) 	
	   "was waitForConnectionUntil:"

		"ifFalse: [Transcript cr; show: 'not connected']".  "commented for 3.6"


I know nothing of the channels for reporting/fixing bugs so
hopefully this will trickle back to where it should.
