dbopen is a #define in the header file.  Are you trying to link freetds to 
an existing application compiled against openclient?

These function are not yet implemented.  To be honest they are not used 
that often, and I believe you are the first person to ask for them! 

dbsetlname() is not in the dblib manual, I thought is was purely an 
internal function actually (all the DBSETL* routines call this, 
inefficient).  

dbaltbind will be mostly a duplication of the existing bind routines, but 
may need some underpinnings. 

dbcolbrowse()...well we have no support for browse mode, so substantial 
work would be needed for this to be implemented.
