ODBC32.DLL is a dynamic link library and supplied with Windows 
implementing the same standardized interface as iODBC or unixODBC do for 
Linux.
All compilers supported by GLPK (Visual C , Borland C 5.5 and DevC++) 
can compile GLPK with support for ODBC32.DLL. I did this for GLPK-4.27.

For GLPK-4.28 I have tested compiling with VisualC (Microsoft Visual 
Studio .NET 2003 professional) under Windows 2000 professional.

Changed sources and executables are available at
ftp://glpk.dyndns.org/glpk/win32

As GLPK is not distributed with the GMP and the MySQL libraries I would 
refrain from requiring these in the makefiles.
The files for ODBC are distributed with Windows 2000 ff and the 
supported compilers. Hence adding ODBC to the makefiles makes sense.
