It's the same code (might be a different version though). The pgFoundry
site is where the development work happens.

Not sure how you got there - some pgFoundry link I guess. Not one we've
published.

psqlODBC is the official PostgreSQL ODBC Driver. Downloads are available
on the PostgreSQL Mirror network at http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/

Thats the driver distributed as a zip of the dll's - not recommended
unless you know what you're doing.

That's the driver distributed in a Windows Installer Merge Module, for

Yes - unless you specifically need an older version for some reason, get
the latest. No-one is likely to support the older ones, and the first
question you're likely to be asked is 'are you running the latest version'?
