Since pgAdmin2 already uses ODBC, would it not be best to leave that
alone and just use ODBC in a Linux port as well?

The ODBC in pgAdmin2 is a good help in porting to PostgreSQL from other
databases, but no doubt it has it's drawbacks.  On the other hand if it
is already existing, and should work 'as-is' then perhaps it would save
a lot of work to leave it alone.
