I Bill!
Very big patch !!!

I'm revising some of it (I avoided ctlib/dblib code)
- tds_alloc_cursor contain a buffer overflow calling strcpy, allocate
namelen/querylen + 1 or use memcpy instead of strcpy
- some functions in query.c should call tds_to_quering to avoid reuse
- why you not send data (tds_flush_packet) within some tds_cursor_*
functions ? You should also test result of tds_flush_packet
- some more tests fail (tds/flags, ctlib/rpc_ct_param,
ctlib/rpc_ct_setparam)
