[freetds] des_ecb_encrypt naming

Can we rename des_ecb_encrypt to be something else?

Mac OS X includes a function with this name in libcrytpo, and because 
of weak leaking, the FreeTDS version could be called when the 
executable meant to call the system version.

I think there is a way to bypass this with compile flags, but it 
seems best to me to avoid having symbols with the same name as system 
functions.
