Well, the good news is that all the protocol stuff to support these is
done (see function tds_process_param_result).  The bad news is that there
is no code to glue this data to the functions in dblib.

Indeed, it seems this used to work, there's a param_info in the TDSSOCKET
structure, there are alloc/dealloc routines in mem.c, and the
free_all_results function calls it.  What is missing is the code in
tds_process_param_result to allocate and copy the data off the wire. 
Anybody know what happened to this?
