Attached patch solves (according to user report on master daily build)
fdo#36555, a severity "critical" bug which keeps users from connecting
to ADO / OLE DB datasources. In particular, it keeps user from
connecting to MS Access (.mdb) files in the most natural way; that is,
by creating a new ODB file by wizard, selecting "connect to existing
database" and then "MS Access" in the drop-down list.

It does not completely solve the bug in *my* testing (in master), but
that may be specific to my local setup and/or the MinGW build.

However, I would like to have that patch already applied to the
libreoffice-3-4 branch since:

 - It completely solves the bug at least for some
   (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36555#c42)

 - It is "obviously" correct, independent of the bug.
