It seems that this has been way too hard. I've read several articles online and none of them are up-to-date. I reach a dead end not long after starting.
I found some information here on this forum, but it is not detailed enough.

How to connect and load data from MySQL to SQL Server
-------------------------------------------------------------
1 - Download the 32 bit ODBC driver.
go to the MySQL website and download: “mysql-connector-odbc-5.2.4-ansi-win32 msi”
NOTE: Do not use the 64 bit driver on BIDS 2008. BIDS 2008 is 32 bit. You will get a mismatch error when creating SSIS’s connection manager: “The specified DSN contains an architecture mismatch between the Driver and Application”
