I didn't intentionally break that --- in fact I added some stuff to
odbc's private configure script to ensure it would still support the
Makefile. But I don't know enough about ODBC to test it, so I'd prefer
to let someone who knows what it's for make sure that it still builds
and works. (I can only say that it does now build and install a valid
library on HPUX, which it didn't before.)

Right. Actually the recent changes were very good --- they made it
feasible to have a large chunk of the sharedlib build rules be textually
identical in different makefiles. I just took the next logical step
and moved the textually identical stuff into a single file. Should be
a lot easier to maintain this way.
