While working on fixing the ODBC driver, I did several things I should
not have done during beta. First, I removed the feature that allowed
ODBC to talk to backends of version <=6.3. This should not have been
done during beta. I did this very quickly, with little warning to
users. Second, I pgindent'ed the ODBC code and fixed some of its
alignment. Again, something that I should not have done without warning
people and waiting for comments.

When my mistakes were pointed out to me, instead of correcting thing, I
tried to defend my actions. I have since backed out all my changes,
except my original bug fix.

Apologies to Hiroshi, Marc, and others for causing this confusion, and
not initially accepting blame for my actions.
