with a modern version of MySQL. Also, fix some DESTDIR issues.
5.1.6
Functionality added or changed:
* Providing an empty string as the catalog argument to SQLTables()
will return an empty result set. A catalog must have a name.

Windows GUI. (Bug #40932)

SQLLEN and not to SQLINTEGER. Using SQLINTEGER pointers as
StrLen_or_IndPtr parameter of SQLBindParameter/SQLBindCol may cause crash
on 64bit platforms.
