title: DBExpress TSQLConnection timeout
body: <p>(Using Delphi 2010 Pro 32bit Windows via LAN/WAN to server Ubuntu with MySQL 5.5)
  When accessing Remote MySQL server, my app sometimes freezes for 20 secs before it reports "MySQL gone away". 
  In practice I think this is caused by a <em>brief</em> loss of network connection, (which I dont control), so I need to try to reconnect much faster than this - maybe after 2-3 secs.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried changing TMySQLConnection Connect timeout, but it makes no difference -  either is not implemented, or does nothing?? (Remy?? can you confirm?)</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to get control of my app back <em>faster</em> when I get this error?
  (I am <em>sure</em> that I would be able to reconnect if able to retry 2-3 secs later!)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
