Tanks, I don't see a problem with these patches, while I don't really
know ODBC. But three comments:
- In general we try to avoid adding new ini settings, in general
they just make life harder, can't these made connection or query
flags?
- The update for "current versions of iODBC": How new is this new
version? (Or other way round: how likely will a system break?)
Can old versions be detected and rejected from config.m4?
- I hope these stuff won't break with other odbc flavors :-)

PHP_5_2 is the stable branch, new features should go to HEAD and
PHP_5_3, while I don't expect big problems with merging these.

There's no specific todo (I know off) but you might take a look at the
bug reports, see

for a start.
