Peter,
I am looking forward to see your ideas implemented :)

BTW, At some level ODBC is a subject of research within Kexi, by Sharan Rao.
The goal here is not only to develop 1-to-1 frontend for unixODBC, which would 
be rather straightforward (but still a lot of work and testing), but also some 
interfaces that can enable interaction of ODBC layer with data definition and 
data access interfaces like Predicate (aka KexiDB v2).
