FreeTDS is quite self-contained.  If you're familiar with VC++, it shouldn't
be too hard to generate a static db-lib library.  It might be easier with
Ming, though.  

To know what modules to link together, look in src/dblib/Makefile.am.  

--enable-msdblib, like all such switches, is enabled through a #define in
include/config.h.  

Write back if you need more help.
