Not to reply to myself, but here is a list of defines and their status

INT_*            yes (i think)
EX*              yes
DBVERSION_*      no
SYBAO*           ?  (looks like yes)
SYB* (datatypes) yes (has wire representation)
DB*              no
*BIND            no
RETCODE values   yes (mostly)

There's probably a few more in there somewhere.  ctlib is a whole other 
ballgame of course.
