Description
Looks like the 'mole' project cannot be built with MS Visual Studio 2015, because 'mole' depends on the MySQL Connector/C library (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/c), which only supports Visual Studio versions up to 2013 (VS12). Attempting to compile the Connector/C source with Visual Studio 2015 fails with many errors.

Probably best at this point to disable the Windows build of 'mole' in the "archiving/Makefile" file and distribute the previous version of the executable file for 'mole' ("ew2moledb.exe").
