If your systems are essentially the same you only need the
libymyodbc*so and the libmysqlclient*so files

When compile libiodbc, you can use the flag: --with-odbc-inidir to set
a system wide odbc.ini file. (Check the libiodbc README)

Sorry, yes
The reason for this is that myodbc uses some common headers from the
MySQL distribution and these must be the same between MyODBC and MySQL.
I shall look into removing this dependency in the future!
