On my system, mzgc is always installed at: ${PLTHOME}/lib, and that is
why, the Makefile in SrPersist reads:

-L../../lib

which is the relative path to the aforementioned directory.

I'm not sure, sqlucode.h is required for ODBC drivers > 3, or not.
The MS ODBC documentation lists the header file:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/odbc/htm/odbcodbc_header_files.asp

I also use iODBC as driver manager together with the actual ODBC
drivers for PostgreSQL, and MySQL, and was not aware this particular
combination were 3.+ compliant.  I thought it was a 2.0 ODBC driver,
this information could be outdated, though.
