Steven Taschuk (staschuk@telusplanet.net) reports a bug with a severity of 3
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
configure does not check for -lodbcinst

Long Description
When configure is run with
    ./configure --enable-odbc --with-unixodbc
it does not verify that -lodbcinst works.  The absence of this
library (or misarranged symbolic links, etc.) is not detected
until relatively far into the build, when the ODBC driver is
actually compiled.  Better, imho, to check at configure time
so the user can fix the problem without investing time in a
build process which will fail.

To the extent that this is a reasonable complaint, I suspect
that it also applies, mutatis mutandis, to --with-iodbc.

Sample Code
