... as does this one, considering we officially support v7.3 and newer, the
ODBC driver we push should reflect that ...

These arguments I do agree with ... maybe some sort of 'feature matrix' is
needed where we're dealing with multiple versions ... have an ODBC.html page
and allow other 'versions' of ODBC include their products, commercial and open
source ...
'k, let me ask though ... why would i use ODBCng over pgODBC? From your own
words, the code is a mess (just like pgODBC), it doesn't support advanced auth
methods (which ones aren't supported?) and doesn't support older versions of Pg
(I have several clients still using 7.2, actually, for older OpenACS sites, and
*alot* using 7.4) ...
