For the moment you must have the whole source as the myodbc configure
stuff checks some paths in it.

We hope this will be fixed in MySQL 3.23.4, that we hope to be release
today. I will try to make a new MyODBC distribution which doesn't
need a MySQL source installation next week!

Yes.

No. The only reason for this is if libiodbc doesn't send the SERVER
variable to SQLDriverConnect. Any change you can debug this (I don't
have time to do this myself until Monday)
