http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/ALPHA/freetds/stable/freetds-0.63RC5.tar.gz

Includes Bill Thompson's rpc patch for db-lib, supporting null
parameters.  

AFAIK, there are no outstanding build problems, except on AIX, which
Martin Spott (thanks, Martin!) has graciously offered to provide as a
binary.  

A patch showing the difference from rc4 to rc5 is attached.  As you can
see, there are no changes to the configuration files; the only changes
are to src/dblib/rcp.c.  If you were able to build rc4, you should have
no trouble with rc5.  

But if you haven't built a release candidate lately, please do so at
your earliest convenience.  We want to make everyone happy.  Any
reported problems are guaranteed to get our full attention, or your
money back.  

There is some weirdness still, with tsql on my NetBSD machine.  The
argument '-static-libgcc' is being passed at link time to gcc, see
below.  I consider this acceptable because it's only a warning (or, at
any rate, tsql still links).  We can iron out that wrinkle in 0.64.  

Absent complaints, look for a release this weekend.  

My thanks to my fellows for their amazingly fast work.  And to the
testers, for they smooth the path for the general community.
