also pgfoundry is marcs personal project - the postgresql.org sysadmin
team is not at all involved in it nor do I know who actually has access
to the pgfoundry box on the OS-level.
From a sysadmin team perspective we definitily dont want to go anywhere
near providing a generalized hosting platform for projects (as already
mentioned there are plenty of code hosting sites available).
However for high profile subprojects (like jdbc or in this case odbc) we
can certainly make some exceptions if needed.
