Much doings, mostly because Frediano has been *very* busy. See ChangeLog
delta below for details.

Many changes went into the conversion code. Please try it out if you can.
We don't have a complete any-to-any conversion matrix test program yet,
so your feedback is especially valuable. There are three recent threads
on that subject that I think are unfixed:

1. "VAR or not VAR?", needs close examination
2. "Issue with IMAGE type in latest build", may need "0x" prepended to
output in some cases (definitely not dbconvert(), though).
3. "Convert seems totally broken now", may be refined in #1.

I nominate the TODO list to act as listkeeper of stuff to do. I added
some comments there and made a couple of entries. Brian, it would be good
if you put your feet up on the desk for a little while when you're relaxed
and optimistic, and diddled with that file. There are some things in it
that I think are completed, and other things we want to do that aren't
mentioned.

A few changes went into configure.in. That means ye of the CVS will have
to rerun autogen.sh.

I also applied the sensible patch from York Ye, allowing a servername to
have a port appended:

$ src/apps/tsql -S sandbox:4100 -U saw -P 'buzz'

Thank you, York. Please send us a "diff -u" next time; it makes our lives
easier and saves you the work of writing instructions. Also thanks Eric,
for your freebcp patch. I reworked it a little after applying your patch,
but I think you'll recognize the results.
OK, I think I've said enough. Please have fun.
