[freetds] Implementing SQLDescribeParam, SQLParamData

Hey folks,

We're porting some code from windows to run against unixODBC and  
FreeTDS and we need to use the following functions that are currently  
marked as stubs in http://freetds.org/api_status.txt:

   SQLDescribeParam
   SQLDisconnect
   SQLPutData
   SQLSetEnvAttr
   SQLCancel
   SQLParamData

I'm wondering if someone could fill in the details on why they are  
currently stubs and on what needs to be done to get them to "OK"  
status, or alternatively, if there is a suggested workaround we can use.

If it's not something that requires uber-deep understanding of TDS,  
OmniTI are prepared to do the work to implement those functions and  
contribute the result back to the community.  If it proves to be "too  
hard" for us to implement, we'll consider compensating someone from  
the FreeTDS development team to get it done--we see value in making  
FreeTDS better and would rather spend money on that than on a closed  
commercial solution.

Many thanks in advance for your attention,

--Wez.
