FreeTDS Development Group

The timeout stuff was contributed by Inline for their ODBC driver (which
uses libtds), the other CLIs do not yet support it.  Under ct lib (and
thus DBD::Sybase) ct_config with the CS_TIMEOUT arguement needs to be
implemented.  We should also implement the interfaces file way of
specifying these values.  I'll try to take that on while I'm redoing some
of the configuration setup.
