I think this is the way to go. We should probably get it working on
Windows first, and then we can work together to get Mac support
working (because both of those platforms *always* support ODBC). Then
we can figure out how to deal with Linux - it may take some loose
binding magic so we can run in the absence of iODBC on that platform.
I'm not sure we need to support unixODBC as well.

Thats good :-)

Excellent :-D
