I committed a new and improved User Guide this weekend. It probably won't
make tonight's snapshot; look for it in Tuesday's. I would be grateful to
anyone who'd give it a close reading, particularly for accuracy and
clarity in the ODBC section.

It it meant to describe 0.62, which is to say the functionality of current
CVS. There is a new ODBC chapter that I'm basically done with; eventually
I think I'll prune down the DM instructions and add an ODBC "confirm your
installation" page.

There are a few things I want to do, still, before releasing:

1. Change the build instructions to:

$ mkdir build; cd build
$ ../configure [options]

IOW, build out-of-tree rather than in-tree, which IMO is a much better
practice. There are a couple of minor hitches building our distribution
out-of-tree that I haven't tracked down.

2. Make sure CVS builds work without DocBook installed (without building
the documentation, which is optional).

3. Offer links to the reference manual in the UG. Fill in the
placeholders, IOW.
