I assume that you have seen this (incomplete)
coverage:
http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/psqlodbc/genpage.php?doc-config

I am not aware of any other documentation, apart from
the source code itself.

Most of the configuration options are obscure, and I
would say little used. I generally find good results
running with default settings, or with minimal
changes. Nearly all of the list discussion on these
configuration options relates to a very small number
of them.

I would suggest that you post any questions you may
have about specific options, and see if someone can
help you.
