Guess what, it already has been ported for iodbc on unix! From the
feedback I have received, it works fine on unix. There are some very
minor issues that will eventually be corrected.
The nice thing about this is we have one driver that is maintained
centrally that is able to support both windows and unix.
See http://www.insightdist.com/psqlodbc. The source release contains
all the necessary files (makefiles, readme, etc).
