Hmm -- there's more TDS dissector code floating around out there than
what's in ethereal CVS?  Gimme gimme :)

I have a patch that labels more of the environment change token subtypes
that SQL7 sends, and also pulls in some code for displaying UCS2 fields
from the SMB dissector...  If there are others actively working on the
TDS dissector, it sounds to me like it would be of benefit to have a
"local" CVS repository for it.
