You've probably already noticed that I pulled a bit of a brown-paper-bag with
this patch, because of course the 'unsigned' modifier can't be applied to
something that isn't a built-in type, and so freetds simply doesn't compile
with this patch. ;P  In the future I'll actually /try/ to build the package
after patching it, to save myself the embarassment. :)

The lines that look like this

+typedef unsigned TDS_SMALLINT  TDS_USMALLINT; /* 16 bit unsigned */

+typedef unsigned TDS_INT       TDS_UINT;      /* 32 bit unsigned */

need to be changed to look like this:

+typedef unsigned @smallint@    TDS_USMALLINT; /* 16 bit unsigned */

+typedef unsigned @int@         TDS_UINT;      /* 32 bit unsigned */

I can resubmit the patch if you want me to, but I figured that might be
overkill for something so small.

In happier news, a new Debian package has been uploaded that includes this
(patched) patch.  It should hit unstable within a few days.  A previously
uploaded version of freetds (usable under x86, at least) has made it into
testing as well.
