Hi

I downloaded Byron's latest psqlodbc source release from the postgreSQL
ftp site
and discovered a couple of problems.

I don't know where the tar.gz file was created but the following files
have the wrong "permissions". I had to run 'chmod +x' on them to make
them executable. The files in question are,
	"configure"
	"config.sub"
	"config.guess"
	"install.sh"

Furthermore, I suspect that the tar.gz file was created on Windows
as it appears the files have the carriage-return/line-feed problem
again. When I tried to './configure' the source it spit out
all kinds of errors and couldn't figure out my system type.
Ultimately I had to use zip on the template directory and than
did 'unzip -a' and everything worked. So...,how do we avoid this
in the future? At least if Byron releases the source in zip format
us Unix users only need to do 'unzip -a' on the file.

My Bad...Sorry.

I'll fix it and re-upload it today.  I think it should stay "tar.gz"
though.

OK, and if you would prefer Gerald or I to package it from the main
source tree after you commit changes I'm sure we would be happy too.
Don't know what machines you have available to you...
