I think FreeTDS site is down (I don't know why) and also snapshot system
is stopped since 5 august so I decided to provide a temporary place for
downloading an updated version. I put it at
http://freddy77.tripod.com/contrib.html (inside my personal pages).

Difference from 5/8 are
- tds
 - iconv cleanup
 - better error handling (Peter Deacon patch)
 - fix a severe bug allocating memory for parameters
- ODBC
 - param fixes
 - descriptors (Steve Murphree patch)
 - cleanup and a lot of updates 

ODBC has been quite... rewritten... there are 9 new functions
(SQLColAttribute, SQLCopyDesc, SQLGetCursorName, SQLGetDescField,
SQLGetDescRec, SQLSetCursorName, SQLSetDescField, SQLSetDescRec,
SQLSetStmtAttr) and others improved (mainly SQLGetInfo). Feel free to
test it and report problem. NOTE: enabling --enable-extra-checks cause
many tests to fail. This is caused by bad ODBC 2 type handling and I
should fix it this week. This should not be a compatibility problem
cause old function set SQL_DESC_CONCISE_TYPE and not SQL_DESC_TYPE.
