I *think* the original TclODBC is dead/dieing or maybe limited to
MS-Windows.  I could not get the Linux/UNIX version to build or run
under Linux.

*I* re-wrote a TclODBC package from scratch under Linux. See

http://freshmeat.net/projects/tclodbc/

The original TclODBC is/was full of excessive use of C++ OO nonsense
(which is almost impossible to follow and is impossible to debug) and
tries to support both Tcl's pre-TclObj API *and* the TclObj API (really
unnecessary at this point).  My version is in simple, plain C and only
supports the TclObj API (by way of Swig).
