Any contributions you can make would be appreciated :-)

We use MS Visual C++ at the moment (that's what the .mak makefiles are
for - the command line MS compiler). There is no special environment
required, simply run vcvars32.bat (or add the relevant bits to your
env), and then use something like 'nmake /f win32.mak' to build a DLL.

At the moment we have 3 builds, the ODBC2.5 (legacy) version, the ODBC3
version and the ODBC3 Unicode (beta) version. I want to move fairly
quickly to only the ODBC3 Unicode build and junk the rest.
