It's really not that hard.

IIRC,

Install Python 2.1
Have a look in
Use the MySQL-python windows installer.
This will want to install into the Python 2.1 you just installed, that's the 
only reason you installed it ;-)
Copy anything that has mysql in it's name from C:\Python21\lib (or whether you 
put Python21+'\lib') to lib\python of you Zope install. For me, thsi was:
_mysql.pyd
_mysql_exceptions.py
MySQLdb (a folder)
Now unpack ZMySQLDA.tgz into your Zope Products folder.
Restart Zope.

All done.
