ODBC and iODBC

Gurus, Does it make sense to have the iODBC libraries as part of the standard PHP distribution? This is NOT the OpenLink driver library, but an LGPL Driver Manager. Basically, if php is compiled --with-iodbc then any ODBC API compliant ODBC driver can be used by setting the ODBCINI and ODBCINSTINI environment variables, since iODBC provides a standard ODBC binding point for PHP applications. Much of the work I've done recently to support PHP has been in getting the --with-iodbc configurations working (or --with-openlink for that matter - it's the same thing) and a default inclusion would enable greater use. Also, iODBC includes an SDK, so developers can build their own drivers to compete with OpenLink, Merant, Easysoft, etc. Is bundling/inclusion feasible?
