Another solution is to maintain old functions if we remove one, do not
update so version if we add a function and change so version only when
change a function prototype or behavior (difficult cause prototype and
behavior are defined by Sybase and Microsoft for all high levels 
libraries). So a solution is to add a DBTDS function to dblib and
downgrade so version...

There is a portable solution to define the set of function library
should export?
