Well, that's not too good.  One of our server-side scripting languages
relies on ODBC to make a connection to the MySQL engine (hence unixODBC).
So basically I cannot access a ANY database on the same OR a remote server
using this language on a Raq4?  Or am I missing the fact that there's
another ODBC connection manager on the Raq4 somewhere that will do what I
need?
