I have added README.unix to the psqlODBC CVS containing the following
text:

I assume the odbc options haven't been removed from the autoconf stuff?

psqlODBC README for *nix Systems
================================

Since psqlODBC has be moved from the main PostgreSQL source tree, we
have yet
to create a new build system for the driver. Currently, in order to
build under
*nix systems, it is recommended that you copy the files in this
directory to
src/interfaces/odbc in your PostgreSQL source tree, then re-run
configure with
the required options from the top of the tree. The driver can then be
built
using make as per normal.
