Description:
unixODBC 2.2.11 (the current version shipped with Debian and Ubuntu) does not implement
SQLGetPrivateProfileStringW() and the rest of the Unicode functions in odbcinst.

The only function that the driver actually needs is SQLGetPrivateProfileStringW().

How to repeat:
Compile against unixODBC 2.2.11.

Suggested fix:
Implement a wrapper for SQLGetPrivateProfileStringW() (which will also need to work
around other SQLGetPrivateProfileString() bugs in unixODBC 2.2.11) and stubs for other
functions to allow things to compile.

Implement workarounds for unixODBC limitations

This is now committed, and will be in 5.1.1.

A note has been added to the 5.1.1 changelog: 

A wrapper for the SQLGetPrivateProfileStringW() function, which is required for Unicode
support, has been created. This function is missing from the unixODBC driver manager.
