Agreed.  I wanted to include your dynamic SQL support and was looking for an
"I'm done" announcement. :)

I would emend your list:

- TDS5 dynamic in libtds (lack only unprepare, quite simple)
- new style prepare/execute in ODBC
- bcp currently slightly broken for nchar
- DBD::Sybase support (ct-lib placeholders)
- Locale support: send client charset to Sybase at logon

While addressing DBD::Sybase, it would be good to revisit Michael Peppler's
wish list.  At the very least, I'd like his unittests to reflect our
expectations when linked to FreeTDS.  

Nick, are you satisfied with the "rototilling" (cf. TODO) or do you have
greater ambitions?  

I think January is realistic.  The holidays are upon us (especially in New
York <cringe>) and your friendly release engineer will be skiing in France
for 10 days.  

Regards,
