I definitely think there should be ONE ODBC module (the term "ODBC
driver" actually refers to what the ODBC manager uses to connect to the
DB itself), and if a particular driver manager needs special code in the
nsodbc module to work, then we conditionalize it in.

Exactly why doesn't nsodbc work with unixODBC?  The whole point of ODBC
is that it defines an API, so you can interchange ODBC managers, ODBC
drivers, and ODBC connectors within applications and interoperate ...
