I hope I'm wrong with the following, because your project sounds
interesting, but:

mysql.h (and all of MySQL) is licensed under GPL2-only. 
GSL (at least the latest version) is licensed under GPL3-or-later. 

See
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#v2v3Compatibility
for the resulting problem.
