DriverManager/SQLCopyDesc.c has a whole lot of "ret == SQLGETDESCFIELD(..."
that look like they must have been meant as "=" instead.  Maybe that
only counts as one bug ;-).  There's another case in cur/SQLExtendedFetch.c.

The uninitialized-variable cases I fixed are in
DriverManager/SQLColAttributesW.c and DriverManager/SQLGetDiagField.c,
and IIRC would only trigger on zero-length input, so maybe no one has
stumbled across them up to now.

There are also some error messages that pass an integer value to a %s
format specifier, which would certainly crash if they'd ever been
executed.

The bulk of the patch is word-width issues in debugging sprintf's, which
quite likely wouldn't ever bother users in the field, but they'd sure
matter if you tried to do debugging on a 64-bit platform.

Every change that I made was in response to a "gcc -Wall" warning.
If you don't customarily use -Wall or a similar warning level from
another equally picky compiler, I recommend it.  Zero tolerance for
warnings has saved my butt a few times.
