Well it builds for me at this moment so I can just leave it as is and start 
working from another project or take steps to actually remove some of it now. 
Your preference?

I am definitely a huge fan of getting a release out :)

Where should we draw the line between the unixODBC of 'tomorrow' and the 
optional stuff? I suppose unixODBC could be reduced to the following 
deliverables.

Libraries

- odbc
- odbcinst

Executables

- isql
- uisql
- odbcinst
- odbc_config

Includes

- sql.h
- sqlext.h
- sqltypes.h
- sqlucode.h
- odbcinst.h
- odbcinstext.h
- unixodbc_conf.h
- uodbc_extras.h
- uodbc_stats.h

This would leave, at least, the following features to be put into one or more 
projects;

- drivers
- driver config
- Qt gui bits
- gtk gui bits
- wrappers
- FDB stuff
- SQL parser

...basically anything not needed to support the basic functionality of DM and 
odbcinst.

Thoughts?
