Although the libraries have different names, they expose the
same interface and are compatible on the binary level.  The
driver can dynamically link to a driver-manager library with
the standard name `libodbcinst.so'.  A symbolic link with
this name can be created pointing to whatever driver manager
is required.  A driver need not depend upon a specific
driver manager.
