Freddy sent me the RPMs and they are posted on ibiblio.org. I haven't
updated the links on freetds.org yet.  

There are now 5 (!) rpms:

freetds-0.61-1.src.rpm

freetds-0.61-1.i386.rpm
freetds-devel-0.61-1.i386.rpm
freetds-doc-0.61-1.i386.rpm
freetds-unixodbc-0.61-1.i386.rpm

Is this considered a good thing?  I can understand src/i386, but why have
the binaries broken into 4 parts?  It seems very fragmented for such a
simple project.  

In any case, I think we need some documentation for the purpose and
contents of the RPMs.
