I'm not aware of any development in this area, but I would sure welcome
any development towards that.

FWIW, I'm looking into setting up a freeodbc CVS server.  I'm hoping that
I will come up to speed with CVS and any related security issues by the
time that Ke Jin puts out the next iODBC snapshot (the next snapshot is
expected to be a license change only: GPL->LGPL).  At that time (hopefully
within a month) I'll put iODBC under CVS, and anyone who wants to become
an active contributer can participate.

If there's some active development on the SQL Server driver, and Craig
feels that an open development model would be of benefit, we can put the
SQL Server driver under the CVS tree, as well.
