I spent my entire two-hour train ride home tonight having second thoughts
about this.

We need to keep elements required at library build time separate from
elements required at library use time.

To implement that, I will do the following:

- All autoconf-generated or human-ported system dependencies will be
localized in two header files, tds_sysdep_private.h[.in] and
tds_sysdep_public.h[.in].  Only the latter will be installed by "make
install."

- tds_configs.h will revert back to its original purpose of only specifying
configuration file locations.  It will use macro concatenation to add the
configured FREETDS_SYSCONFDIR from tds_sysdep_private onto each pathname.

- tds.h will unconditionally include tds_sysdep_public.h.  It will include
tds_sysdep_private.h only if _FREETDS_LIBRARY_SOURCE is defined.

- The TDS_* typenames will be moved back to tds.h.

This gives us the cleanliness that's needed to do this properly, and people
doing manual ports will only need to provide preconfigured versions of these
two headers.

If you dislike this idea, speak soon or forever hold your peace...

Cheers,
--nick

Funny, Jim and I just had a long discussion on the phone and basically
decided that this was the right approach and I would have a look at it next
week :-)

I will look at handling replacements.h in a similar manner.

I putted all configure and platform dependent include into tds_configs.h.in
(I removed tds.h.in and readded a tds.h without platform dependent
declarations). 

This from discussion about Win32 port and configure stuff.
