Mmm, sorry I know nothing of "building 32 bits dll" but the only point 
is to keep PSQLODBC30A.DLL ans PSQLODBC35W.DLL as they are now.

Moreover, I do not think useful (for me!!) to add modern new features of 
last Postgesql to the ODBC 32bits interface, that is "maintain" but not 
necessarily "improve"...
