Yeah, that *would* be nice, and probably we'd have the thing quicker
that way (by just concentrating on the client side).
I first looked at porting unixODBC and then building the fs service on
top of that, but I didn't like how the unixODBC code looked, and
couldn't get the will to port it. Nothing against the code itself,
it's probably just the nature of the thing: ODBC has gotten a lot
more complicated than I remember, or I've gotten simpler. There were
also some weird shared library loading things (for dynamic loading of
drivers) and a lot of Windows-mimicking all around which I didn't want
to wade into.
