Description:
The header include/config-win.h which was included at least through 6.0.2 is missing from mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-winx64.msi. This breaks builds for software packages which use that header. I have gone through all of the release notes [1] and I see no mention of this omission, so the assumption would be that this is an oversight.

How to repeat:
1. Install mysql-connector-c-6.1.6-winx64.msi
2. Look for \Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Connector C 6.1\include\config-win.h

Suggested fix:
Restore the missing header.

Looks like I can't edit the original description, from which I inadvertently omitted the footnote. The URL for the release notes I examined is https://downloads.mysql.com/docs/connector-c-relnotes-en.a4.pdf.

It's been over four months since I reported the issue. Can I at least get an acknowledgement that the omission of the header file is an oversight that will be corrected at some point in the future?

Thanks.
