Was the autogen.sh helpfull for you.  This creates some scripts
which overrides the ones from the distribution.

May be I'll find the time to do the first step to a package.
I really think about packaging the freetds_jdbc driver.
Unfortunately the driver installation process wasn't successful on
my installation.  I've got it working now but only after I got
all the classes from Juergen Kreileder <kreilede AT issan.cs.uni-dortmund.de>
vie mail.  This is not a good starting point.
I'll try the latest snapshot soon, but I'm not really sure if
the problem was caused by freetds_jdbc driver or my local Debian
installation.

If I'd managed to build the Debian package (may be I'd have further
question) I'll inform you anyway.

If I should package the library I think there is a big need for any
test suite or a working example.  I would not upload any package
if I'm not able to do at least a basic test.
 
Kind regards
