Hi Tim,

Thanks for testing the ebuild. See comments below.

Correct.  My mistake; I removed gmp from the configuration section,
added gmp as a real dependancy.

I looked at the Q docs and found that it supported libiodbc and
UNIXodbc; I just picked one, since I don't use the ODBC functionality
at all.

Not sure about this problem since I don't use the ODBC at all.  Maybe
I should default to using the unixODBC instead?  How about I do that
and you test it and tell me if that works better for you and I'll
leave it.

I'll have the new ebuild up in a couple of minutes.
