The current odbc module in win32all doesn't support DSN-less
connections. A while back I submitted a patch to Mark Hammond to add
support for this - hopefully it'll make it into the next release of
win32all.

In the meantime I'd be happy to send a copy of my patched odbc.pyd
compiled for Python 2.2/2.2.1, or I can also send odbc.cpp if you'd like
to compile it yourself for another version of Python.
