Dan Lewis did this for Linux 32 and 64 bit, I think and made them
available on the extensions website ;

Nothing was done for OSX, possibly one of my older ones (from pre-4.1
dev builds) might still work with LO 4.0.x.

Nothing was done for Windows and LO 4.0.x

For LO 4.1, Fridrich has done the work for libmariadb integration, and
so far as I can see this builds and (still) works on OSX, Linux
32/64bit, and possibly Windows, as he was originally focussing on
getting it to build in Windows from what I recall.

I don't know whether the buildbots automatically build the connector or
not (because I don't build with the defaults on master), my guess is
probably not, at least not on OSX.

I am not aware of any separate MariaDb connectors for future LO4.1 on
Windows, or any other OS for that matter, that is currently available
for download.

Perhaps Fridrich can tell us more.
