I don't see anything wrong in 64-bit patch, if it do not compile for
some reason it should be included in 0.64. How do you compile unixODBC
for 64-bit platforms?

Mmmm... no I don't remember a patch, could you explain why your patch is
needed? What are the problems in current implementation?

This is a rc so don't think final version will be so different, is
better to handle problems ASAP before release. Things like problem
compiling can be added in a 0.64.1 but adding a new fields
(client_charset in TDSLOCALE) cannot (for binary compatibility, well...
I known you know these problems better than me :) ). Is impossible to
avoid patch for debian (you need to add all debian files) however it
would be fantastic is you could use our files untouched.
