This is a bug in the installer. Since the Ruby interpreter itself is at
version 1.7.3 it will presumably ignore those files under site_ruby/1.6
anyways, but I would go ahead and remove that folder just to be sure.

I don't have the answer for this part (not familiar with the ODBC
module). Generally speaking I can tell you that I wouldn't expect an
"odbc.so" DLL built for Ruby 1.6 to work with Ruby 1.7; you (or Andy)
will need to recompile that against Ruby 1.7.
