It works even on Sybase :) (no core even using ElectricFence)

IMHO the second... I didn't work that much on bcp however I don't like
that much either:
- it should be integrated in libTDS (and Bill has already a patch..)
- as you said we never tested native format (so we don't know how many
bugs we need to fix)
- did we test with iconv??

Also there are a lot of related issues (BCPCOLINFO should be TDSCOLINFO,
how can rewrite conversion and so on...). 

IMO trying to fix current issues will just delay developing... I'd
prefer a 0.63.5 version...
