Hi all,

I've fixed the problem of not being able to receive msg and error
callbacks prior to returning from tds_connect(), however the libtds API
was broken in the following ways to accomplish this.

. tds_connect() now takes a second parameter of 'parent' (ie dbproc).
. The call to tds_set_parent() is removed (although it doesn't hurt if it
  is called repeatedly)
. Message handler functions in the CLIs are now passed the TDSSOCKET
  structure and *not* the parent.  The parent can then be referenced
  and cast via tds->parent.

What this means in english is that you'll get a 'Login Failed' message
when trying to login with incorrect user/pass.  Always handy.

We generally try not to break the libtds API because a few third party
projects depend on it, but in this case it was a necessary evil.


Cheers,

Brian
