ODBC under Windows needs no source/header files in PostgreSQL
other than in src/interfaces/odbc. It's not preferable for
psqlodbc driver to be sensitive about other PostgreSQL changes
because the driver has to be able to talk multiple versions of
PostgreSQL servers. In fact the current driver could talk to
any server whose version >= 6.2(according to a person).
As for pg_wchar.h I'm not sure if it could be an exception
and we could expect for the maintainer to take care of ODBC.
If I were he, I would hate it.
