You could try removing iodbc from src/modules/rlm_sql/stable, if you don't
want it to build. It shouldn't _break_ the packaging in any way... Leaving
out the entire rlm_sql _will_ break things, sadly.

Blaargh! OK, that's the kind of argument I wanted to see to make splitting
it out worthwhile. However, it's (I suspect) too late for 0.9.0 to have
this, but 0.9.1 might be in scope. Eitherway, I'm going to bring it back
onto the agenda once 0.9.0's finally done.
Certainly when I looked at unixodbc it wanted to install a similarly large
set of dependancies that I didn't want on my RADIUS server. However, due
to -dev package conflicts, we don't get both in Debian anyway.
Anyway, here's the patch to make freeradius-iodbc a seperate package:
It'll save packages on your _install_ machine only, sadly. And of course
if there're any problems, I'm all ears... (I'm running it locally without
problems, mind you.)
