This is sort of my long-term idea, i.e., just use "the" ODBC driver that's
available. However, I'm not sure if it's entirely appropriate to do that,
for a number of reasons, one of which is that unixODBC and iODBC aren't
pretending to be compatible, another is that if this were the way to go
then we wouldn't really have a place for the standalone driver. For now,
I think giving people the explicit choice is a good way to see where this
is going at all.
