Now that we have removed that "neither unixODBC nor iODBC" version of
the Unix variant of the driver, you get uncontrolled breakage when you
just run "./configure; make; make install". I think it would be
beneficial to add automatic detection of the available driver manager.
That is:

- if --with-unixodbc is specified, use unixODBC

- if --with-iodbc is specified, use iODBC

- if both are specified, abort

- if neither is specified, search for unixODBC, then iODBC (I think that
is the order of popularity; tell me if I'm wrong). If neither is found,
abort.
