No, but the macro is_fixed_type (tds.h) will... cs_convert seems to 
be using the tds data type values instead of the CS_xxx_TYPE values, 
so that will work.

I'm adding a function to return the size of a fixed length, suitable 
for passing to malloc.

It is a pretty easy fix if the src_type and dest_type are the same, 
which in my case, they always are. Otherwise, it goes down to the tds 
conversion functions, where I'm more hesitant to change things since 
they can effect dblib and odbc.
