Well last time I looked ApplixWare shipped with the unixODBC DM libs

There is a different way you could do this. the patch I sent made the build
use the unixODBC header files in the compile and then link with libodbcinst,
thats the clean way IMHO. However, you could continue using the header files
that are in the odbc directory, and just add a option to disable the builtin
SQLGetPrivateProfile  and link in a libodbcinst. the configure option would
just need to point to the libodbcinst.
