an already installed iODBC or unixODBC driver manager.  In particular,
use the include files provided by the driver manager over our own,
and use the odbcinst library of the driver manager rather than gpps.c.

Migrate portability sections common to several files into psqlodbc.h.

2) Keep FE/BE protocol more precisely.
3) Improve procedure calls.
4) A trial to avoid PREMATURE execution(#ifdef'd now).

The problem with the current settings is that the linker is called
directly.  This is wrong, it should always be called through the
compiler
driver (the only exception is `ld -r').  This will make sure that the
necessary libraries like libgcc are linked in.

But there is still a different problem with the setting of LDFLAGS_ODBC.
The psqlodbc module defines the functions _init and _fini which are
reserved for the shared library initialisation.  These should be changed
to constructor functions.  Then LDFLAGS_ODBC can be changed to be just
`-lm'.  Btw, why does it use -Bsymbolic?

 to get rid of unused variables.
Get clean compile on Linux (Thomas and Gerald).
Implement autoconf/configure for standalone builds and use the existing
 autoconf/configure system when in the Postgres source tree.
Code tests and functions with ApplixWare-4.4.1beta on a Linux box.
Changes should be backward compatible with WIN32 but still needs testing.
