Dan,
I don't feel very strong about this so I'll leave it up to you guys but there are almost no code changes so I don't quite understand why it'd be so terrible for the extension.

Regardless of how self important a patch submitter may sound, there is no *technical* reason why this patch should not go into PHP; it's not as though we have a phobia of ODBC drivers.
There is a technical reason to avoid it if you've listened to any of my past efforts to move uODBC forward in time. If it is not a driver manager, it moves the uODBC further to being a driver manager... something I have been trying to avoid. I am against continuing the process of directly linking into database specific drivers, for various reasons but mostly to cut down on the issues of lack of support.
You can cite all the rhetoric you want about slowing down the execution time you want. I don't buy it, nor do I have the time or resources to continue in the "we'll support everything" manner we're running in.
The end result you've taken your route with PDO, please allow me to continue my route with uODBC.
