The recent changes were made by me mostly and I 
have no ODBC environment on *nix. So the changes
are mainly for Windows.

Probably I'm responsible for maintaining the TODO now.
OK I would update the TODO. Siginificant Items are

3) Updatable cursors support.

If the *nix ODBC driver really has no problem we
don't need our own driver.
