What's wrong with int4? I don't recall hearing of any problems with them
in the last 5 years or so. If this request is to make your life easier
on your current project rather than fix an actual bug, then I would
strongly object to adding such a hack to the driver and would suggest
that you take a copy of the source and look into hacking it yourself.
The code in question is in pgtypes.c - the int8 hacks have the comment
/* Change this to SQL_BIGINT for ODBC v3 bjm 2001-01-23 */ above them
for reference.
