Admittedly I haven't investigated it very throughly yet, but the Macintosh already has unixODBC and iODBC working with it (your example not mine). Both allow connections to cross platform databases regardless of datasets. Both read data sets regardless of endian nature.
The very definition of ODBC is for open connectivity, regardless of client platform, as a long as the client conforms to a version of the spec. Much of what you've just quoted as being reasons to use ODBCRouter are the reason ODBC itself exists.
I haven't looked at the patches yet, so is this just another drive manager?
